Dinan 435i Upgrade

rickjenn · 10-17-2014, 01:08 PM

Just got a 2015 435i xDrive coupe. Estoril Blue with M-Sport and Auto

Love it and find it a better driver than my 335i xDrive coupe - sits lower, wider track, etc.

Am looking at the Dinan stage 1 software upgrade: http://dinancars.com/product/d440-16...ries&mid=1164/

Dinan has a great reputation.

Has anyone upgrade their F32 with this?

mppk is cheaper, bms tune is cheaper. Theres no reason, that i can tell, to go for this upgrade above any other...

I had the tune done for my '14 335i. I love it. Pulls great. A gross over simplification is that in terms of power, it seems to fall in between the MPPK and BMS. Between the MPPK and Dinan, there's more power with the Dinan and it's not like the MPPK is cheap. The MPPK of course is covered under warranty. The Dinan is not but Dinan will warranty any claim that BMW deems that the Dinan product was the reason. I know I'll get attacked from both sides (MPPK and BMS) with their opinions. The BMS is much cheaper and supposed better gains but does not carry the guarantee. Which I could be wrong, I honestly did not look into it that much. There's advantages and disadvantages to all of them, you just have to decide what's important to you ($, power, warranty are the big 3).
