Will Dinan be capped for 2020 M550i?
With over 520 HP on the new M550i, will Dinan be forced to keep the HP levels at 600, the same as on pre 2020 models, so as not to exceed the base M5 power and to not piss BMW off?
Just wondering... |

don't think so. Dinan is it's own separate company with zero ties to BMW, I don't see them not developing and selling something just to not piss BMW off. With that said though, Dinan currently does not have any vehicles with the N63TU3 so I am sure it will be a while until anything is released for it.

Honestly - from what I can see RaceChip is only advertising 45 more HP above stock for the 2020. I suspect with the added increase in HP, the high watermark is much lower now - thus natural limitation due to a baseline increase.

The Elite V2 for the N63TU2 is still non-carb legal for California, SMH. It's been over a year... |

Dinan is pretty much like any other tuning company at this point

There is no BMW warranty to be had. Dinan covers expense when BMW doesn't. The relationship between Dinan and BMW has been deteriorating. The dealers here have stopped installing Dinan products and are no longer Dinan dealers.

You lose your BMW warranty if you get Dinan. Even if your dealer offers it

Still remember my dealer installing it back in the day on my B7 and everything was cool. Still see dealers selling Dinan products locally, so thought the warranty was still there too... |

I just remember last May when getting my 2019 M550 when I turned in my F10 M5 and the sales guy walked over a Dinan pamphlet. I said ok let me break the car in and I'll do it. Well went to do it and braman didn't support dinan anymore. That's how I learned about the relationship going away

Of course, if you get their cheaper products, you get the product warranty and not much else (no warranty on your car from BMW or Dinan): https://www.dinancars.com/warranty/ And there seems to be a fair number of dealers listed as supporting Dinan (except only one dealer in the Dinan home state of Alabama!) https://www.dinancars.com/authorized-dealers/ Last edited by runbuh; 02-03-2020 at 11:00 PM.. |
