Anyone running this?

Performance should be considerably better than with a piggyback box. There are things that simply cannot be done through piggyback tuning.

As a former piggyback tune user, I agree.

Steve is releasing flash tunes as services and to complete his engine packages.
It is not the Dinantronic piggybacks that Dinan has released.
Dinan and Steve's new business; Carbahn Autoworks are 2 different companies with zero relation.

Agreed, that's a given.

Same numbers on the tune. I know they have split but... just saying.... the work and research where the car thrives are in Steve's Head.

Steve's F10 M5 when he owned Dinan was a piggyback "Dinantronics" with ECU backend flash.
There are some write-ups about it.
Made some really good power consistently

I know this. My car was shipped to Cali and perfected by Steve as the development car for the comp pack tune.

It's a great tune. Having similar in an ECU tune would make it that much better.

Agreed. From talks with Steve, at the time "tampering with ECU's would go against the BMW warranty stuff"
But now since he is getting into more motorsport stuff, he is going to offer tuning. They should get onto the forums "if they have the staff" and promote their services
