| Dinan ECU Upgrade for 335i - 384 hp / 421 lb.-ft -
12-08-2007, 01:27 PM
Dinan gets around to offering ECU upgrade for BMW's 335i
Dinan, renowned tuners of all things from the propeller people, have finally decided to offer an ECU upgrade for owners of BMW's delectable 335i. The reflashed upgrade necessitates the installation of either BMW's or Dinan's oil cooler, but once the Bimmer's brain is reprogrammed, throttle response is sharpened, the top-speed governor is removed and power levels jump to 384 hp at 5,700 rpm and a kidney pummeling 421 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 rpm.
While other companies have been at it for a while (ahem, Vishnu), the Dinan crew is able to offer something that other tuners haven't: a warranty that coincides with BMW's own. The cost, however, is steep, coming in at $1,999 for the reflash alone. Piece of mind – and tuning products for BMWs overall – doesn't come cheap, but for those who want to extract the twin-turbo'd inline-six's full potential, this may be one of the best mods to date.

Thanks Siko, this is exactly what I have been waiting for to hear.
Warranty, Dinan and 3.0 tt engine is a winning combination!
421 lb.-ft. of torque is around 570 Nm right? | | | | | Super Moderator

This is nice, but that knock at Vishnu was kind of sad. Dinan have been doing stuff for BMW far longer and unlike Vishnu Dinan have far more money and can work closely with BMW to offer upgrades that don't destroy the warranty. It's not Vishnu's fault that BMW don't deal with small tuning shops, even though Vishnu have proved to be really good for a while now. | | | | | Devotee
