I run 3.5 boost on 93 octane with no issues. No data to prove it but car feels stronger than it did at boot 3.0
My service advisor has no issue with the piggyback and as long as BMS is faster car I'll stick with it. That being said if there is a major engine or mechanical issue for whatever reason I will remove it prior to service. Also if there is any definitive data or evidence to prove Dinan is superior I would not hesitate paying extra for it and also for more "peace of mind" An ECU tune or ECU clone we all agree is the best. |

BMS is where it's at... Dinan doesn't have Nearly the options you have with a jb4 maps gauge hijacking etc. Also jb4 has a ton of built in features that will kick you to another map if you get too much knock or go lean etc etc. 12.0 at 124 is a sorry time for a f10 M5. A lightly modded n55 (3.0 single straight 6) will run that or even better E/T.sounds like you had a terrible 60'... Anyways I wouldn't rag on piggy back tunes there is a lot that a flash doesn't do that makes a piggy safer.... Lots of fail safe modes for fuel pressure timing knock and overboost that a flash tune won't even show or warn you on that can cause more serious issues.

I've been fortunate to have installed multiple BMS and Dinan kits.
There are differences to both setups. The only thing that BMS has an advantage of is being able to adjust the settings that the user feels will benefit. Increase boost and you go faster, that's simple. But safe for how long ? I don't know why everyone here thinks that if there is a problem all you do is remove the BMS unit and no-one from BMW will find out...that's laughable lol The D-tronics unit is just as "fast" in performance but the vehicle has a way better performance curve.. The transition is so much smoother and precise. All around the Dinan is a better setup. The price is what you pay for. We all have our own choice. |

This is a forum on (S63T) not (N54/N55) engines. Does BMS or even Cobb out perform Dinan on N engines ? Yes it does. Is it cheaper, yes to that answer too. Does it have more features over Dinan or Active Autowerke ? Yes it does. Oh shit, wait. You mean that even other tuning companies are same price range as Dinan. Yup ! Active Autowerke does too. Where is your bashing on them ? But, that's not what I wrote. And neither did I say that you will have warranty or service issues. Its a LAW that you can not be denied service or warranty unless it is proven the aftermarket product resulted in a component failure. But if you have a failure and think that all you gotta do is remove the performance unit and the "coast is clear" ? Your wrong. There will be evidence in other control modules in your car. Ohhhhh wow .... Guess you forgot that more then the DME and EGS control modules communicate to eachother and store codes and real time operating values that any legit scanner and especially a factory BMW tool will show. That's not new news. And that's awesome your car is so badass. Good for you man. Sounds like a real sweet 135 But, on the S63T engines which we are all talking about here... yes the Dinan D-tronics setup does have a better all around performance curve then the BMS tune. There are members here that have came out and seen and driven both setups with me. Do I need a dyno sheet ? Nope. Are they good for numbers sure, do I give a shit ? Nope Anyone is socal want a ride to compare drivability ? I always post that I attend all socal events and anyone wants to meet up I always am willing to give test drives. I'm a car enthusiast too |

You really gotta take a breather man and read posts before replying. I have BMS and Dinan. Both have advantages. "I" said your car was badass. You have a nice list of mods. I'm in Temecula. Message me anytime and I'll meet you. And I'll bring a BMS M5, M6, and a M4 too. Hell.. I can call up a Weistec CLS 6.3 and he will embarrass everyone. There will always be someone who is faster. Who cares. We all love cars. This went way Have a good one Last edited by EuroKar; 09-19-2014 at 07:25 PM.. |

Thanks for the write up on differences or pros and cons on BMS vs Dinan! I agree with your thoughts here. I will add some thoughts/experiences from European tuners that probably correlate quite well with what you wrote. German magazines, like Sport Auto and Auto Bild Sportscars, often do tests of tuner cars. Either a single test or comparison tests of cars from several tuners. In Europe, just as in the US, we have tuners that offer a cheaper tune, often claiming/having a higher gain than some more expensive tuners. Their tunes come at a affordable price level, but often without legal approval and allways without warranty. But you get a big bang for your buck (or Euro in this case ). The high end tuners, usually represented by AC Schnitzer in the BMW tests, often claim less power increase but comes with legal approval and warranty. When these magazines test tuner cars, and do comparison testing with a number of timed tests (acceleration, in gear acceleration, track time etc) more often than not, they prefer the driveability and power delivery characteristics of the ACS/high end tune over the cheap tune. It's not allways about a max peak hp number... This is also seen in their timed metrics, where the tune with a better overall power curve often is quicker than the tune with "just" a higher peak number! Of course the tests also show that sometimes the cheaper tune is faster since it has a real advantage in power. But that might compromise driveability again. There is a huge difference between the amount of development time that goes into a high end tune and one that just use their std piggyback and make new connectors for every new model they sell it for. The simplest piggybacks that just alters boost signals aren't really advanced and can be sold/used on allmost any turbo car with just minor software mods. A piggyback like Dinan's or AC Schnitzer do more than alter boost and have more control over parametres such as AFR etc. They also require more development work for each new model. The JB4 is much more advanced than the JB3 that the M5 use (it's actually the 550i piggyback that also is used on the M5). But the JB3 definitely works! It increases power and puts a smile on the driver. No arguing that. The point is that you usually get what you pay for. And the high end tunes usually have better driveability and/or power delivery. As well as warranty and being legal... It's also different to going for a service and the dealership not saying anything about a tune, to having a engine failure and getting that covered by BMW under warranty! In the latter situation they will do due dilligence and make sure that the owner hasn't violated the terms of the warranty. Which I personally think is just the way it needs to be done. I'm not interested in paying a higher price for my new BMW just because BMW have had to up the margin due to a lot of warranty claims based on tuned cars breaking down... And, yes they can tell that there has been a piggyback even if you remove it. The dealer can't AFAIK, but when the factory is hooked up to your car when it's sitting at the dealer, they can read a lot of stuff that is telltale signs of a previous tune... |

Nice slip that 60' is pretty damn good was that on slicks? I don't know about awd helping you that much to claim 10's LOL. it will slow you a little on the big end you would have to hit a 1.3-1.4 60' with that trap to see 11.0

He got rid of it already !? I have to admit the new M4 does look pretty nice. I have the BMS tune in my M5 and only run 3.00 over like the directions say and also use 93 octane and Its been going pretty good. Dinnan kit is nice but $3400.00 bucks I could use that money for other things. Like jc05e46m3 said there will always will be someone faster. The other thing too people drive so damn slow now a days that's its hard to even go fast. Well at least that's how it is in New England. To many old people up here! |
