After many hours of further research, tuning and testing we have improved on our hugely popular Stage 1 Performance Software.? Our team was able to make Stage 2 much faster by improving turbo response across the power-band.? This tuning is especially noticeable in the first two gears, now catapulting the car off the line.? Tuned for a smooth power-band to put down predictable and even power in all gears and throttle positions.? This smoothness improves the quality of the shifting and the overall drivability.
From a standing start (with the traction control fully disengaged) all it takes is the press of the throttle to the floor to get the tires spinning.? The everyday practicality of a full size sedan with the fun of a sports car, this is the definition of "Performance Without Sacrifice".?? ?
With Dinan?s software, your BMW will be capable of achieving its natural top speed as the governor has been removed. And as always, Dinan matches the new car warranty coverage for up to 4 years or 50,000 miles, including the possibility of consequential damages. No one offers better performance or backs it up with such comprehensive warranty coverage.
DINAN Performance Software FAQ:
Do I need to instal the Performance Software stages in order?
No, any stage can be installed at any time if additional required parts are already installed.
If I upgrade to the next stage software do I have to pay full price?
No, just the price difference between the stage you currently have and the stage you are upgrading to.
Will Dinan parts be covered under my extended/CPO warranty through BMW?
The Dinan warranty matches the new car 4 year / 50,000 mi warranty and does not cover any extended or CPO warranties.? Read the full warranty here: http://www.dinancars.com/warranty.aspx
MPG with Performance Software on a turbo car?:
This is the beauty of a turbo engine.? When the engine is not in boost (below about 3K rpm) it is sipping gas like a small non-turbo engine would.? It is only in higher boost levels that more fuel is used.? It all depends on your right foot, if you drive gently the car will use the same or slightly more gas than stock and if you drive it at wide open it will use more.
Will the chip hurt my engine?
Yes and no? We work very hard engineering our products to work within the limits of the engine components. On the other side, nothing is free and we are asking the engine to do more work and that will increase wear.? Dinan backs its software with a BMW factory matching 4 year/ 50,000 mile warranty.? We are as confident about our products as BMW is about theirs.
Will stock parts hold up to the added power gained from Performance Software?
Yes, part of our R&D process is scrutinizing every component for the ability to handle the extra power added to the system.? We must do this because of our BMW factory matching 4 year/ 50,000 mile warranty.? We feel as confident about our products as BMW does about theirs.
