Reading the issue with the Dinan tune is saddening ! I thought about going the Dinan way (since my dealer is an Auth Dinan installer) but decided to went with the JB4 (had a positive experience on the N54 platform) and no regret so far ! If ever one of you want to change tune, get the JB4 for sure !

The unit and wiring harness are being replaced right now. From what I've read about issues with the b58 6cyls, the wiring harnesses have been shorting and they've resolved this.

Is this something they contacted you about to send you, or was it per your request? I haven't had any updates on my car, but haven't asked either. I am just curious if your new kit being sent is due to a finding with my car being in their shop for the last week. New module and harness didn't fix mine, hence why I took it to them to investigate further.

Quick question about the springs and the bump stops, is your car AWD or RWD? I want to lower my car but cant find a good set of springs that wont kill the shocks. I have an AWD 230i so just curious?

RWD, the Dinan springs are engineered to work with/not kill the standard shocks.

I took delivery of my replacement car today (since my last 230i was deemed total loss after a heads-on collision with a drunk driver) and had the Dinan freeflow exhaust fitted on this one. Everything is still being broken-in but so far the sound seem to be a lot better over the original exhaust.

Thanks for the review. That's a very nice-looking 230i. I especially like that you did not add the M Sport pkg and you kept the stock wheels. A couple questions if you don't mind: 1. Are you living with the stock steering wheel? 2. You said the Shockware made the biggest impact in feel. Does that imply that you had a chance to drive your car after Shockware install but prior to install of the springs and other suspension bits? Do you have an opinion about idea of installing Shockware into a 230i (w/THP) without doing the mechanical mods? Thanks!!

Curious how your tune is still holding up? When I took mine in they ended up replacing it with the V2 while they added another mod that should be released in the near future. I'm taking it back in later next month for the final fitment of the production product and reevaluating the V2 tune since it has some smoothness to work out at lower power inputs.
