Looking for a little more power from my x35i and have been going back and forth between Racechip and Dinan. Seems Racechip is pretty well proven. Has anyone setup the Dinan Stage 1 tune and could provide feedback? Also input on stage 2 is appreciated as well.


Mainly want it for a bit more power when towing the Dinan curve is very appealing.

I think Dinan or CarBahn (Steve Dinan's new company) actually uses the RaceChips hardware. I'm sure someone here can elaborate further.

Point being is you are already buying the RaceChips hardware and it's a piggy, there is nothing magical anyone can do with it so just buy the RaceChips since the overall product and customer service (for me at least) has been really good.

BM3 ecu flash tune is far superior. Piggyback tunes is the old days.
