well no, FEMTO has been unlocking them for more than a year. the only hassle is having to send it to him and wait. Too incredible that a single company for a year has found a way to unblock them and no one else has.

Have you seen the plate bracket thingy with the blind that comes down covering your plate completely. Cops love those. It like having a curtain or venetian blind for your plate. It should have a setting that it goes blank whenever your over the speed limit...hahaha |

this is why serious tuners show before/after dynojet curves with top whp and Nm indicated. These artificially calculated and purposefully overestimated bhp, crank hp, flywheel hp and so on numbers don’t mean crap.

Yeah, the Dinan marketing is ridiculous. Dinan and now his new shop. Here's the strategy in a nutshell:
Car has 400hp from factory Dinan/Carban tune adds 200hp! Go from 400 to 600hp! with a simple tune! Fine print: The car really has 575 hp at the crank as measured on our chassis dyno and based on our assumptions for losses. Your car is AWD so losses are 45%. Finer print: Actual increase is 25 hp at the crank. Maybe 20 at the wheel. Stage 2 tune adds an additional 35 hp for only $50 (later verified to be 6hp with -5000DA) More fine print: stage 2 tune requires addition of $3500 x pipe.

Boy the 8 series folks are out of touch. The 8 series is the top of the food chain. Steve Dinan is a legend and his products are top notch. Dinan was the only brand to not void warrantees as well as be sold by BMW dealers. Why there is any doubt about the pricing or shock at the costs makes no sense. It's not a 3 series trying to get up to 4-500hp, it's the apex predator of BMW and we are talking about 900hp on an all wheel drive beast!

If so then yea B&W is a must for me too. Had it in our Macan Turbo and absolutely loved listening to music in that vehicle. Can’t imagine buying our next vehicle without checking that box if it’s available. |
