Dinan sticker on my engine? Help!

Fellow BMW M'ers

I just purchased a 2016 X6M with 8600 miles , one owner exceptionally clean from a dealership where it was traded.

Tonight i was admiring the engine bay and I found this Dinan sticker!? Does this mean my engine has a Dinan tune?


I don't know how to size the photo to share it here..but it's a Dinan sticker and it says the following:

DINATRONICS

PERFORMANCE TUNER
All tune-up specifications are same as stock factory settings

CARB E.O. No. D-176-42

Can anyone help me understand whats been done to my X6m?

Thanks!

If you can't if the car has a tune or not then that doesn't say much for the tune.

I recently went through this when shopping for a used Donnington grey on red in Jersey. Check the Dinan website for the pics of the tune harness. The harness itself is exposed slightly on the fenderwhells, and the jacket has a unique color. Once you determine where the harness jacket would be located in the engine bay in a tuned F85 you should be able to easily ID whether or not yours has it. But from my experience it's a 50/50 shot it's still installed. Most guys know for 2 hours of labor they can sell it for a grand more than they paid for labor on this very website. And conversely most $tealerships don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell a modded luxury SUV to the next potential buyer
