Anyone running one of these? If so what tune are you running ? What is your experience?

[GregoryK]

Find it hard to believe that no one on this forum has one of these. They say on their website that there is a backorder they are so popular!!!!
Come on fess up! You have one help a brother out.

Did a European delivery of mine in early April. It arrives at the dealer here in the US on Friday then to Enthusiast Auto for Dinan P2 install and various other bits next week. Looking forward to 446 hp of fun with full BMW warranty

I assume that the car is run in by now. Please post you impressions of how it feels after the work!

[LFaist]

Just noticed your question. Absolutely love it. Have about 2,000 miles now with the P2 additions installed. Power is very noticeably increased as expected. Similar linearity, just a lot more power from 3,000 rpms and up. I was a little concerned the exhaust would be too loud but absolutely love it. Ride around a lot with the windows down and music off. I coded out ASD. Only down side on exhaust is living on a quiet street here in Cincinnati with houses pretty close together it is a little loud on start up early in the mornings. This is just a fantastic car with the Dinan P2. Sometime in the next year will add the Dinan full suspension mods.

Quite a few of us on the forum have this. I had one of the first ones that were converted from old turbos rather than being manufactured. I had a defective seal that Dinan quickly replaced with no issues so far. It is known that there are fueling issues associated with high HP applications.

No buyers remorse here which speaks volumes given the price (including BMW labor rates) of the package.

Have had mine now for about 4 or 5 months. I was pretty impressed by the results. About 2 months in I decided to feed my curiosity with BM3 and a custom tune by Cary Jordan. I will say that it "feels" more aggressive and livelier when on it. I have a fueling issue here in CA so I add 2.5 gallons of 100 octane with every fill up. If I were back in Canada and had access to Sunoco's Ultra 94 I don't believe I would have the octane issues.

I need to get on a dyno to see the true deltas between the tunes.

Would love to see the tune comparo!

I’m about to pick up a ‘17 with the DINAN P2 kit on it, so I’m glad to see I’m not the only one out here with this kit! I’ve been searching around for info on whether you guys are sticking with the DINAN software, or running other more aggressive tunes with the kit (flash or other). I’m coming from an ESS sc’d E46 M3 with a Frank Smith custom tune, but a good friend of mine has been running the JB4 piggyback on his N54 335i for a few years now, and I’ve got say, I’ve been pretty impressed seeing what his car can do with the JB setup, as well as how adjustable the piggyback system can be. Anybody here switch from the Dinantronics software to jb4 to run their P2 kit? In addition to the standard P2 bits, I plan to go catless dp, and swap the meth kit form my e46 over to the M2, so I’m leaning towards JB4, but would love to hear what the more “M2/N55 experienced” might have to say.

I ran a JB4 tune on some of my MINI's Huge improvement on an undertuned stock engine. The Bluetooth phone app is the best.
The N55 is a completely different engine. Already starting to sweat. To get more power from this engine I would not bother with a piggyback. Too many thrown codes and such. Really not that much of a difference. My MINI JCW with the JB4 was putting out almost 300hp (1000lbs lighter than the M2). The difference was huge in a light car.
Get a proper engine remap IMHO.

Its not going to give you max power compared to Pure but Dinan offers a very nice power increase worry free

Isn’t Dinantronics also a piggyback? The only difference I see is that it plugs in at the ecu whereas the JB4 plugs in at the individual sensors. Please do correct me if I’m wrong here though.

I see the majority of power gains coming from the addition of meth injection. I also like the fact that with the jb4, if I get the sudden urge, I could run a tank or two with some level of ethanol thrown into the mix. I suppose I could go with a flash tune and run the jb4 only as a meth controller, but then I lose all of the additional features and flexibility of the jb4 itself. Hrmff. Not.sure.what.to.do...

[Lodi]

Any of you guys do your own diagnostics or coding? I ask because I’ve always done my own on my previous bimmers, but can’t get the software to read any of the ecu’s or modules on the M2. I’m wondering if it’s because of the Dinantronics piggyback? I know with jb4, you have to put it in stock mode to be able to communicate though the obd2 port, so I’m wondering if it’s the same with DINAN.

Mike. How does it work? You need mine as an exchange? What is the warranty? Does it look the same from outside?

no need to , $1749 gets you an upgraded Dinan turbo and you get to keep your stock one

Is there a warranty?

yes, a matching warranty...whatever time/miles remain on your factory BMW warranty, Dinan matches.

What if we have an extended BMW factory warranty?

After the base BMW warranty runs out, Dinan's warranty runs out as well. The best thing to do would be to call the company that administers your service contract and ask them. If they say they'll cover it, I'd write down the name of the person you talked to along with the date and time and put it in their records. I'd also ask to get it signed and in writing on their letterhead.
