DINAN M5 ECU Tune (?)
Apparently DINAN has made progress with the ECU. Looking like they cracked the encryption, have been doing R&D, and will release it to market soon (soon aka on DINAN Standard Time). Who knows when it will actually be released.
I took some notes listening to the podcast... PodCast: The Smoking Tire Episode: Krautwerk Time Mark: 16:50 (16m50s) DINAN Parts: S/W, Intake, Exhaust, and High Flow Cats Bolt-On Parts Produce: 670hp (flywhl) Software Modifications: - Waste Gate Control - Ignition Timing - Fuel Adjustments - Sensors Warranty: 40,000-50,000 Miles DINAN Test Car: 125,000 Miles Other DINAN M5 Parts Mentioned: - Coil Overs For Electronic Shocks M5 Custom Engine: - Low Compression Engine - Larger Turbos - Produces 750-800hp DINAN's Wheel/Tire Setup: Front: 285 9.5 Rear: 305 10.5 Optimal Power M5 Can Handle: M5 can handle 650 ft/lb torque Gearbox and traction is good for 600 ft/lb - they tune to hold that throughout the rev band.. makes car very fast.

Interesting information. This does hold some merit for me now because we are slowly but surely starting to see some Performance Parts come out of Dinan. Like their wheels and their new Sway Bars (which look awesome BTW). So I just going to take a guess and say that over the next 3 years we should see these things come out from Dinan one at a time or something. Dinan does make some good stuff but it is definitely overpriced. We'll see what the future holds.

Yeah defiantly will be priced high.
I have a feeling it will be over $5,000..

I remember when that independent tuner in Atlanta, Performing Imports, was offering the Press Tune for $5,000 dollars and some people were paying that. I can only imagine the ridiculousness that will ensue once Dinan releases their tune. I'm just going to sit back and watch the show.

DINAN's Wheel/Tire Setup:
Front: 285 9.5 Rear: 305 10.5 is it possible to run these sizes without the tires rubbing. i have a tire change due and have the same rim size but im worried about the front |

Listened to the Podcast. Very interesting!
He didn't go into any details on the M5 tune though... All the software things he mention can be done by means of a piggyback. But if they indeed have managed to break the encryption that would be awesome! |

I think the sweet spot for the current piggybacks is 3psi on pump gas and 5psi on race gas. Switzer, BMS, and all the other piggyback tuners I know of are running these levels for some time now and I've yet to hear of any damage. To take it to the next level I think a new generation of CAN based piggybacks will be required. Or methanol injection. On repairs whether you agree with it or not likely if someone blew a motor they would just remove the after market parts and warranty it. As the piggybacks leave no trace left behind once removed. But I checked getbmwparts.com and a rmfd short block from BMW is "only" $18k + labor which would be an expensive way to repair it. More likely you'd just do a rebuild, replace the faulty piston with a new OEM one, rebalance, etc, and be looking at less than $10k out the door. I understand some of you guys pay almost that for your exhaust systems, lol. Mike |
