S58 Tuning Solutions (Gains vs. Cost)

ibmc · 07-08-2023, 04:39 PM

i installed my Dahler a couple weekends ago. I am not into tweaking, so the out of the box settings are fine. Amazing difference, in fact, the other day I turned it off and the car felt sluggish without the torque it provides. Since I only paid $1585 or so for it last Black Friday sale, it is the best bang for the buck for me. Its just nice having that little bit of ooomph when you want it.

did you measure times too? 1/4 mile, 60-130mph and 100-200km/h. Before and after tune.

I wish I hadn't found this thread. I was perfectly happy with my Dinantronics-X (that has not been installed yet) because I wasn't even aware there were so many options for piggybacking modules out there.

Even more perplexing is that Steve Dinan is out promoting the CarBahn while selling Dinantronics-X too?! The conspiracy theorist inside my head is telling me they are likely the same exact product, just re-branded.

The RaceChip GTS and the MHTronik both seem to come from reputable, German (!) companies, but Dinan has been tuning BMWs since I was in diapers, and is a known quantity. I'm going to install the Dinantronics-X and hop on a dyno. I will update this thread with results. I'm going to need a while though: I am not going to install it until the break-in service is complete. I only have 250 miles on my car, live in Idaho, and refuse to drive it when there's snow or rain... might take until spring

FYI, Dinan did post what they claim to be dyno results from an F-generation M3.
