same as the 335i power-wise. expect the 135i to be faster though due to the 200lb difference.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was going to call dinan but figured they receive similar calls every few minutes. I'm dead set on dinan other than waiting to see if bmw ends up offering their own software upgrade.

Dinan has the 135i tune up on their website now. I would imagine it isn't much different than the E92 version. (i.e. the same)
http://www.dinancars.com/store/Engin...p-1-c-783.html I've already made an inquiry to a local dinan installer. I will probably be doing it very soon.

Please keep us updated regarding this tune. Before driving the 135i I was dead set on getting it done, however after driving it I'm on the fence as to whether it really needs the added power. I'm sure once I spend a few months (weeks?) with the stock 135i I'll be ready for the added power.

my guess is that the reflash is free but labor might be charged unless the dinan installer was the one that messed it up to begin with. but i really don't know. if i find anything out i'll post.

I dont know how it is with other dealers but my dealer informed me that they are a certified Dinan tuner. They have personel from Dinan at the dealership each week training the mechanics on new Dinan products and doing tunes. This is a nice guarantee that anything tuning I get done will be backed by warranty since its done at my dealership plus every single mechanic there has been trained by Dinan so there is no way they will accidently reflash the car or mess anything up.
Check with your dealer and see if its the same. Will save you some sleep at night. |

There is a guy on the e90 forums that just ran his Dinan tuned 335 at infineon near San Fran. Only mods to the car was the Dinan Tune and a drop in air filter. Best Times were 13.0x and 12.9x. This is an excellent time at that track considering you'll run .2 tenths faster out at Sacramento Raceway. I have personal experience at both tracks.
Also, this was on stock runflat tires, however he said he did put a couple gallons of 100 octane. My guess is a Dinan Tuned 135i will run in the 12.6/12.7 range on stock runflats. Thats one hell of a car/daily driver with the factory warranty!!!! I'll be getting the Dinan tune after I get a few miles on my one..... |

Does one need to break in the car before installing the Dinan mod?
I was thinking of having the dealer install it before I take delivery of the car... Patrick |

I might get it done this afternoon.
My problem is that the only dealer in my town listed as a Dinan installer has a reputation as being the worst dealership in town. Big time a-holes that are arrogant and rip you off ... especially in the service department. The other Dinan installer is a small independent tuner shop. If I do it I'd go with them ... but I'll lose the synergy between BMW warranty repairers and Dinan installers.

update from my local dinan installer:
" If the dealer re-flashes the DME, we reload the software for free." :w00t: I have an appointment this afternoon for the install.

Do you know of any good air filters that got good reviews on the 335coupe? I am thinking of changing to a new air filter. Thanks! |
