Dinan Flash Tune
There is a Dinan advert in the latest issue of the BMW CCA magazine Roundel that says Dinan flash tunes return for F8x, M2, M3, M4 in Q1/2019 with the remainder of the current line-up to follow thereafter.
Dinan_Engineering Any word on when F22/B58 will be available? How will you handle Stage 1 piggyback conversions?

As far as piggyback conversions-- nothing is completely set in stone but I can assure anyone that did/does the piggyback method first will not be left in the cold and an upgrade path will be provided for. |

Will they have the same factory match warranty as the DinanTronics Elite Piggyback? Or, will I have to keep my piggyback for that, and then switch to the flash tune after my factory warranty expires?

Dinan_Engineering So possibly G01 B58 in Q2 you're suggesting or sooner?

Curious if there will be a cost difference for the Stage 2 between those w/ a Stage 1 .v1 and a Stage 1 .v2 as there is a $200 difference between those items, or will there be a "set cost" (upgrade price) to Stage 2 regardless or which Stage 1 a person has?

Since you normally pay the difference in price between stage 1 & stage 2 to upgrade, I would hope those who started with the v1 but ended with the v2 would get credit for the more expensive purchase. My guess is if you started with a v2 you will end up paying $200 more to for stage 2.

LOL, that was exactly the purpose of my query. I bought the .v1 and will be getting a .v2 swap out. I would be rather "miffed" if I got the higher upgrade fee when purchasing the Stage 2. BTW, how ya liking your Cayman? M240i seeing a lot more garage time now that you got it? |

Your Goodyears aren't going to suddenly careen you into a ditch at 44 degrees. Obviously, summer tires get squirrelly in colder temps, but I've driven on summer tires right down to low to mid 30's with no issue. Just need to exercise extra caution. Potential for cracking starts to happen in the 20's.

No, you are right, but repeated exposure causes the compounds in the summer tire to hardened, crack and then you lose chunks. Considering the MPSS limits are 20 deg F, there is a substantial difference and I don't want to put added stress on the tires if I don't have to.

Will it be a flash done at a Dinan/BMW store or is it something a customer can do themselves via an OBDII cable and laptop/device like the flash tunes from BootMod and MHD?
