I have N55 with BMW PE and it sounds epic. I want to get PPK1, but too expensive from teh dealer (i want to keep my CPO)

There are some individuals locally who can flash it at the 1/3 of the price, but it is not authentic and may mess with my CPO

I'd like to update this thread. I have '13 135is, which comes with ppk2 and pe. Today I got Dinan S3 installed SW. I have a Wagner Tuning evo 1 com fmic along with ER oil cooler.

First impresstion, crackle, pop, snap are still there. I feel it sounds a lot deeper than ppk. The upshift is also deeper in WOT. The pop and crackle is also lounder in the first gear. Overall, I'm so happy with Dinan S3.

Also, the acceleration lag is gone.

Wonder if the sound is as good with stage 2?

How you liking the Stage 3? Question for you, when you do a cold start, does the whole car feel like it lifts up?

Lol...yeah...not so much like that. Much more subtle.

Several WOT pulls in 1st through 4th in the first couple of days were recommended to me and they really did wake up the tune and set it properly.
Best done on a track or late at night on a reconnoitered stretch of empty highway.

You'll enjoy, but it will take a few days for it to fully settle in. Hopefully you don't lose much sound.

Just made my appointment - next Tuesday. Will give it a couple of days to adapt, then will report back to you guys with my thoughts.

Yeah, I'm hoping not to lose too much of my PPK sound but I've been waiting on doing this for a long while now and it's time to make my move, plus the price drop has enticed me.

Yeah, I just saw the price drop. I got a decent deal a year ago, but it is now way cheaper. Probably a good call on their part, as the market is continuing to shrink. It might be time for me to consider Stage 3.

Also really interested to find out if it kills throttle response with the clutch in like the OE tune. Makes heal/toe a real PITA. Hopefully the Dinan tune fixes that.

Not going to do this after all. Don't want to lose the sweet popping and crackling sounds of PPK. It's fun every time I drive and you can hear it anytime, you don't have to be going fast to enjoy those sounds. To me, it's very entertaining.

It's the whole reason I started this thread over a year ago. Still haven't heard a video of an N55 135i with the Dinan S2 tune revving the engine, and in engine overrun (decelerating) to confirm what it sounds like. Have heard stage 3 revving, and while the exhaust sounded great (PE), there were no pops and crackles in that video so that was not encouraging. Sorry, friend.

Some have said they would make a video for me, but no one has come through yet with something that sufficiently provides the sounds I need to hear. Not going to pay money just to possibly lose something I love. Doesn't make sense to me. Had a few "fuck it, I'm just going to take a chance" moments, but that has passed and I'm thinking clearly again.

Good call Steve. I also really appreciate my PPK1. Honestly don't feel that I need more HP in this car. It's smooth, fast and sounds fantastic.

Decided to get Dinan S2 after all. About damn time! Nice torque bump. Had a blast driving home on the freeway! Chunner was right. All my pops and crackles are still there in all their glory. Sorry I doubted you, friend.
