Dinan ECU Compatability
Folks, ran into a recent problem and am wondering if any one else has had a similiar problem..
Drive a 5.0 ordered with the 7 RR option, had the Dinan software and exhaust package installed in October by Galleria BMW in Boston, ran fantastic. So I decided to have the BMW hitch installed so I could tow my toys. The physical install went well, the problem was the software install that recognized the lights , deactivated the backup alarm, etc. The problem is this installed the latest BMW ECU software and after reloading the Dinan tune the new software rejected the Dinan tune. No engine malfunction light just 50 MPH mas speed and 10 minutes to get there. What a let down. Dinan and Galleria are still trying to figure it out. Any one else with this latest problem with BMW trying shut down any ECU modifications??? |

Dinan ECU Compatability & MPG
Thanks Scottjays, will forward this info, although they should know.
One other thing and that is with the mileage. With the 7rr before tune I averaged on trips @ 80 mph, 18-18.5MPG. With Dinan tune I averaged 16.5 MPG. Now with latest BMW software and no 7rr as its no longer availible, I average 15.0 on same trip, 200 miles +/-. Is this progress?? |
