I guess if I order it I'd have to have some local guy install it for me? When you mentioned warranty, how exactly do you cover warranty at the moment bmw isn't? Is it you guys who pay for the repair or how does it work? And do you also do that in Europe?

Put in the simplest terms, The BMW warranty and the Dinan warranty run concurrently so if for some reason BMW denies the warranty claim due to Dinan then Dinan would simply step in and pay for the repair. One way or another your vehicle is covered by someone so there is no risk of being given the short end of the stick with some monumental repair bill. International warranty in general is a complex subject that you really should discuss with someone much more versed in the subject then I on. I would contact our office and reach out to Scott Leandres at extension 2105 and he would be able to help you much better then I on the caveats of international coverage. |

The 35i models will all be very similar with the 360 HP / 392 lb-ft. The 28i models would be in line with the n20 F3x cars which are getting 311 HP / 327 lb-ft. Keep in mind that the X1 35i vehicle is actually still using an older style ECU and is software compatible, not DINANTRONICS compatible. Same can be said for the Z4 35i vehicles.

Still working on the last few gasoline cars (320i being the only "major" one left). After which we have been told we will start working on the diesels. I personally won't believe it till I see a car in the shop but that's what they tell me anyway...

OR is this more similar to something like Heico Sportiv, where there is a physical box that "bridges" from the ECU? Meaning, all the top engine compartment trims come out, windshield, etc etc...and there is a cartridge/bridge sitting inside the engine bay. |

Dinantronics for F15 X5 50i
My BMW dealer, Dreyer & Reinhold of Greenwood, IN, installed Dinantronics on our F15 X5 50i last week. I finally got to drive it the last two days and it's fabulous. Throttle response is much improved as is transmission shifting (I'm told by Dinan due to altered fueling parameters between shifts). And the truck makes even better "popping" sounds, etc., on trailing throttle. The power is impressive, too. ;-) You ride an enormous wave of torque all the way to red line. Highly recommended, even though pricey.
God bless, Tom |

My general impression is the fuel economy doesn't seem to suffer in normal driving. But I've only driven our X5 with Dinantronics for two days so take my general impression with a grain or two of salt. Maybe the folks from Dinan can address your question better than I can?

Tom- think lots of 50i owners will be sending questions your way as the first on the board who has posted actual driving impressions on the Dinan tune.
I have noticed some turbo lag in the 50, as well as a slight delay in throttle response that seems more like a delay in the elctronics. Do you think the Dinan tune has made for less turbo lag, or have you noticed "sharper" response from the throttle as well? Sorry if that isnt a very clear question. Please post more thoughts as you get more time with it. Congrats! Aaron in Denver |

Tom: Thanks for the real world review. I've been waiting to read one for the 50i.
I'm all broken in now and seriously thinking about getting one of these. My last Dinan chip, was literally a chip (2 actually) for my old '92 75iL. Hoping others chime in with more reviews. |
