Dropped off at BMW for Dinan stage 2 today

Did you beat the 996 Turbo? I'm just asking since the 996 Turbo is rated at 415 HP stock. I doubt it the Dinan software has you at that power level. Did the Porsche know you were racing?

Guys, no street racing discussions.

I just returned from having a Stage 2 installed in my 135i. As I already have a RISS Racing intake as well as the BMW Performance exhaust, here are my initial feelings about the upgrade.

It's louder - I can here the intake more as well as the turbos spooling up.

Its faster - the torque on the car now is stupid strong. With teh revised map that Dinan put in, there is a flatter torque curve. I fell zero lag.

I need new tires. The stockers won't last much longer than a couple weeks.

New nickname for my car? The "Sickness"

^Wow....is it really necessary to reply to all Dinan threads with the same exact post?!

FWIW, glad you like the upgrade.
