Mark 178 Report post Posted July 15, 2008 You might also want to note that Dinan is an American Tuner and American M3's came out with a completely different engine to the European models. Hence, they may not offer a chip for your car. Also, as has been pointed out in other threads on this topic, it's worth spending a few extra dollars on having your ECU remapped on a dyno rather than chipping it. Every engine is different and you'll achieve the best results from a tune specifically for your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GET IT CUSTOM MAPPED IN NZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 I'll vouch for Gavin as well. Knows his BMW's, very reasonable, drives an E30 335i, say no more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GET IT CUSTOM MAPPED IN NZ. Had been meaning to post a pic of a melted piston once I found one, coz I love pics of carnage. This is apparently off a turbo E30 which ran accidentally very lean at 26psi of boost: Awesome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharger off my mates Kawasaki 15f Jetski - It was 300hp with a Riva Racing kit from the states when it wrecked this. Note the chewed up inside of the supercharger and metal shards. Now 400hp with a fully forged engine, T28, Autronics etc etc. 85mph+ Built by Edgell Automotive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
