Just for the sake of comparison -- The process that everyone wants to be done ASAP is akin to standing in line at the DMV for basically ANY task. While those standing in line view the task as a 15 minute in and out thing, it could take all day in the DMV time continuum. |

Specialty Equipment Market Association. They are the biggest entity that represents the automotive aftermarket as a whole in North America. They do quite a few things really --- one of them is the SEMA Garage which is their 3rd party CARB testing operation.

any updates? Dinan_Engineering
do BMW dealers have access to ordering the stage 1 tune? I am in So. Cal and want to get the tune ordered and installed at one of the BMW dealers here within the coming month, but i'm assuming they won't be able to order the elite v2 yet, but do they still have accessibility to the stage 1 which is legal in Cali? |

Dinan_Engineering so my BMW dealer (Rusnak BMW) called their Dinan Rep last Friday asking about the new part numbers, etc since they had changed. The Dinan rep told my BMW dealer that I guess there is a fault issue with the bluetooth functionality for the stage 1, so because of that the dealer does not want to install a Stage 1 for me, and is waiting for the CARB approval for the Elite v2.
Any update on SEMA? I know it's out of your hands, but I bet the sales team is starting to get frustrated with SEMA as well as Elite V2's cant be sold in California yet. Last edited by modthispny; 02-05-2019 at 07:03 PM.. |

New M550i tomorrow
I'm picking up my new 2019 M550i tomorrow, after a 20 mile test drive today. Seems to be exactly what I have been looking for... something I can drive for 8 hours straight, but also have fun with on the back roads.
I'm interested in the Dinan V2 tuner for my car. Are there currently any deals going on for this unit?? Also, do I need to wait to get some miles on the car before installing?? Thanks. |

Every Dinan dealer I've talked to said not to install the tune until after the break in period. |

i have not driven an M6 GC, but I would assume that the M550i definitely has more usable street power, because of the AWD, and would leave the M6 GC in the dust from a race off launch, but ultimately the M6 GC is still a considerably faster car especially once you're at triple digits. They have comparison videos on youtube with F10 M5's vs M550i's and after about 100 mph the M5 begins to pull hard.

Yes,I have seen the video...the M6 is brutal...in my eyes the most wounderfull design from BMW, so I`m struggling making up my mind, I can see the advantage with x drive, I have also tuned mine so its really trying to kill me everytime I floor it...not sureif I can let it go yet

ditto to that. To be honest getting pretty annoying waiting around. I get it's not in Dinan's control but hoping for an update or something at least. I want to get a tune on my M550i but would rather just have the dealer do it instead of buying a stage 1 and taking it to a authorized dinan shop (non-dealer)

Posting this here because there seems to be more traffic in this forum than the 7 Series forum. I just received a Elite V2 tune for my 2019 750i xDrive, which I believe is the same product as the Dinan tune for the M550 xDrive. I was surprised to find out that this product only connects to the 2 MAP sensors in the engine and that's it. Dinan's own video for the product talks about how they connect to multiple sensors to give you the best product with the smoothest power delivery. I guess they decided they don't want to do that anymore.
Also, for anyone else who's purchased this product, can you tell me if your control module is labeled as N63TU or N63TU2. The outer box that my V2 Elite was packaged in says N63TU2, but the control module inside simply says it's for an N63TU. I'm wondering if they maybe sent me the wrong thing. It also says part no: D443-0069 and Product ID: NPJDRS Thanks, Steve |

I called Dinan and I had the right part. I had it installed today and..... I can't tell the difference. Honestly, my car might actually feel slower now. And the Sport Display shows the car topping out at around 450HP. I'm wondering if they installed it incorrectly or something.

Either the Elite Ver. 2 tune is beyond worthless or Dinan really did send me the wrong ECU. I haven't had a chance go do any timed 0-60 runs because of traffic during the day and bad weather at night, but my car definitely feels slower with the tune installed. Especially low end torque. It's just gone. I took the tuned ECU off and installed the provided bypass and now the car has its part-throttle torque back again. Hopefully I can do a timed run later tonight.
