We need to see some pics of the intake. Glad to hear the reprogramming has created smooth, linear acceleration. Hopefully, you are still achieving the same impressive V2 HP and torque numbers. Did they run a new dyno?

Thanks for keeping us updated.

I didn't get a Dino print out this time. But I was told it is actually pulling a little more than the previous tune on the v2. I didn't get a timeline of how long it will take to push out the update but i can't imaging it will take long. I'll see if I can get some pics later tonight when I get off work

Really happy to hear about the tune!! Any idea if they'll notify you when it's ready? I imagine the update will require me to take in back in to the DINAN tech at a dealer?

Not sure about when they will push out the update. I imagine they will be sending out an ecu with the updated map and you swap it with the one currently in the car and mail the old one back.

Emailed DINAN support today. They said the map is still in testing with no ETA. Delivery method of new map has not yet been determined.

Interesting. I'm sure there is still some logistics to work out and such first. I can tell you with certainty this fresh map is much better and smoother with the same increase in power with the v2. Its so refreshing to not have to tense up waiting for the sudden kick of power as I roll on the throttle. It rolls through the rpms and really gives you the confidence to push a little harder since it's a very predictable power delivery now.

I'm so jealous of your updated tune Clear_Blue22...can't wait for that smooth delivery.

I have been having the same issue. Today I got a drive train malfunction. Not very happy. Will reach out to dinan and see what they can do.

Was the drive train malfunction immediately after reconnecting the battery during install or something? I got a ton of malfunctions to include the power steering going out once when I reconnected the battery during the troubleshooting process with them on my v1 harness originally.

Are you on the v1 or the v2 kit? I have not had any issues at all on my v2

[jase2addict]

V1. My adaptive steering feels off too. I'm taking my car in to BMW tomorrow. I have also contacted Dinan and they are promptly responding. I'm on bypass now and driving very slow as I dont want have power cut off on the 101! Will keep you guys posted.

Got an update on the new V2 map from Dinan: They hope to have something released within the next month or so.

Nice! I was actually going to email them tomorrow just to check in and let them know everything is still going great. I got 478miles before the second fuel low alert went off after a road trip last weekend using Eco mode. And it pulls really smoothly in sport, but definitely doesn't get as good of gas mileage then 🙃

Can't wait to use Sport mode again. I have to drive too aggressively to mitigate the surge (or use paddles). Glad to hear it's still driving well with the new map!

Got an update from DINAN stating that the software update is available! They sent me a shipping label and I dropped my ECU in the mail this morning.

Nice!! I'm excited to hear how it works for you. Mine is just butter smooth in all modes and conditions. The exhaust note paired with the free flow exhaust is just amazing.

I had started to forget just how smooth the car drives without the tune. Driving for a few days here in bypass mode has me really craving the extra power with the smooth delivery. Really excited.

Dinan's axleback is next on my list of upgrades. Waiting for another sale (which will probably be a while).

Keep your eyes out for a good deal on the 240 set up. The LCI 240 is direct bolt on for the 230 and sounds amazing. All you need is a 240 rear diffuser to match.

Replacement ECU finally arrived!! Very smooth in all modes...so smooth that It almost doesn't feel tuned until the higher RPMs where the B46 would normally start to give up.

Also went with a 240 setup this past weekend and installed the MP Diffuser and MP Exhaust. That rear is sexy now.

Awesome!!! I love the exhaust note and the look with the symmetrical exhaust. Glad to hear it worked out for ya. It definitely pulls well, I've ended up sideways a couple times in the rain in sport mode without even having the DSC off

[Winemaker2]

Okay guys, enough of how good the updated V2 tune performs. I have been complaining just as long and have spent almost as much with Dinan to deserve some love. So, smooth, with the same or more power? No more hesitation and then surge? Can't wait.

How's the warranty in that case? Also thinking about 240 mp exhaust.

For the warranty I was Just told the exhaust will no longer be covered. But Dinan stands behind their product anyway with their own warranty so I wasn't really concerned.
