I have heard good things about their new chip for the 335i, any first hand info out there?

From their web page:

"The results of Dinan’s tuning are nothing short of breathtaking, with the added boost and related recalibration producing maximum output of 384 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 421 lb-ft torque at 4300 rpm. All of this additional power is available from Dinan’s software alone, which is easily downloaded by your Authorized Dinan Dealer in about an hour."

My dealer did it...BMW Northwest in Fife (Tacoma), WA. Out-the-door price was $2152 I think.

We charge $2100 installed.

How long after the 2007 335i was released in the states did dinan have these upgrades available for this car?
Im wondering because I want to get the 2009 335diesel upgraded when it gets here.
I have a tourqe sickness.
How long will I have to wait?

I didn't see on the Dinan site that the flash was available for diesel engines and probably won't be available. I don't think any of the turbo tuners out there are considering product for diesel, but you may want to ask Terry (JuiceBox) and maybe hang on e90post, lots of tweakers (and children) on that forum.

Hello "Ty Vil":

What say you drop me a PM and tell me the skinny on the actual dealer cost. YHWH knows I have shelled out plenty of shekels to them and I would not mind knowing where they stand if I start to bargin for the upgrade. Hey, we are not talking your ordinary, run-of-the-mill shekel, I paid in sanctuary shekels!

Help me out here.

I'm not sure any company will tell you the 'cost' of their products they sell so you can negotiate with them to get it cheaper.

Can you get the Dinan software on the automatic 335?

I'd also like to point out that if you read AUTOWEEK they are trying to sell all their BMW cars...hmmm.

Yes you can.

I'm not in the position where I'm going to give away cost on a public forum; I value my employment and my company enjoys being a Dinan franchise. Selling below a certain price point (and getting caught) is grounds for having your dealer agreement with Dinan terminated though.
