Damn Dinan!!!!!!! I can't believe them!!!!

Gossamer · 09-09-2008, 07:02 PM

I am so pissed at Dinan!!! I can't believe what they've done to me, my car and my feelings on aftermarket tuning. Here are my top ten reasons why I can't stand them:

1-the installed Stage II makes my car extremely fun to drive-bastards!

2-my car is extremely fast! Dang Nabbit!

3-there's a warranty! Un-freakin-believable! How dare they!?

4-I get better mileage! What!!

5-Temps run lower! Ok, this is insane!

6-Shifting is much smoother. I'm thinking about having it flashed back!

7-I don't have to take it out when i get the oil changed. What a pain?!

8-It performs exactly how I thought it would! What? How's that work?

9-I spent under $2000 and feel I got my money's worth and don't worry about being "caught"!

10-All you Dinan haters have probably read this and thought it was a "Dinan's going out of business because they suck and treat their customers like crap thread." Maybe this should be #1.

Hate to say it because I know so many of you want to hate what you can't get...it kicks ass. So until next time, I'll be driving while you are using guitar picks and usb tricks to remove your tune for service.

LOL.

No, really, you're such a FREAK!

Glad you like your Dinan ECU Flash...some other tuned 335i's are faster, but enjoy your Dinan 335i nonetheless.

I know...I just wanted to have a little fun...Dinan doesn't get much good publicity on this forum and I want to support what I feel is a good product. I am a freak...you're right about that.

XxLancaxX · 09-09-2008, 07:10 PM

LOL Enjoy your car. Hope nothing breaks, trying to get warranty work from Dinan is a nightmare. Try searching.

AV9 · 09-09-2008, 07:19 PM

how did you spend under 2k? that makes no sense...

ChuckBimmer · 09-09-2008, 07:26 PM

Dinan who??!!! My BMW is now in the shop getting the Stage II flash (Stage III not ready for v81), FMIC, OC, and Exhaust.

thanks man...if you're ever in the state to your west, pm me and I'll buy you a beer. (how many people will look at a map to see what's next to Illinois?!) We can run 'em both and see who breaks first!

mistermojorizin · 09-09-2008, 07:29 PM

are you going to dyno or do some 1/4 mile runs? curious if it really gives you 384hp at the crank.

BmwFanFL · 09-09-2008, 07:29 PM

Obviously, this is just a paid promotion -- there can't be any good news about this tune ;-)

Just kidding -- glad you are happy with the tune....

ybbiz34 · 09-09-2008, 08:10 PM

Congratulations Gossamer! Good to hear you are enjoying the flash. Welcome aboard to the often-harassed, always doubted Dinan community.

So true! I work for a Dinan BMW dealer. Dinan hates to do warranty work

M4TW · 09-09-2008, 09:13 PM

I can relate.

After 5 months and thousands of fast and fun miles, I don't have a single limp mode, broken part, late night ripping parts out of my engine, warranty issue, hassle or dispute to report. I should never have went for this well-rounded, enjoyable, and warranty-backed tune.

Stupid Dinan.

Jayman729 · 09-09-2008, 09:19 PM

If you really work at a BMW dealer and are even remotely involved in warranty work with Dinan then you know that's not true. Sure they're not pushovers for every BS complaint but they do back their products.

gtrokin330 · 09-09-2008, 09:28 PM

all i could think was.....wow. just wow.

M.A.C.K. · 09-09-2008, 09:33 PM

Dinan=

I have had Dinan on 2 of my BMW's, trust me they do not cover their warranty as much as you may think.........DINAN FTL.........

exidisjon · 09-09-2008, 10:14 PM

OP Dinan freak. LOL In a good way.

aut0sh0cker · 09-09-2008, 10:43 PM

Sniper1690 · 09-09-2008, 10:44 PM

Good work on choosing the Dinan tune! When you get used to the Stg. II you will have to take the big dive and go Stg. III as I did...you won't regret it.

sd390r · 09-09-2008, 11:32 PM

ehh dinan = / ill pass
