That said, I have been dinan tuned since my car had 500 miles on it, tuned with S1 for 48,000 miles and zero issues whatsoever. Its a great tune but certainly conservative. Velos on the other hand is a stronger in comparison. Glad I made the switch. Dinan is no longer the premier tuner for bmws especially since Steve Dinan is gone. I'd spend my money elsewhere. Renntech and Velos would be my top choices for these cars, I went with Velos and its been great so far. Will be making a detailed review once things warm up and I can hit the drag strip with the new setup. Think it will break into the 11's. I ran a 12.2 with dinan last summer..
Wow...didn't know that Steve Dinan left. This forum is invaluable.

Great info and much appreciated. Would love to hear your review of Velos once broken in.
