$400 for install stage 1 dinan?!
I'm working with my local bmw dealership on getting stage 1 dinan software for my F80 next month. Cost of software is $2499 + $400 for install? Is this right or am I being raped here?
Others paying $2499499900 for software and install?😠 |

is your dinan warranty worth $2000?
the BMS Stg 1 achieves the same performance, but is around $2K cheaper, and installation takes 30mins DIY

Stealership quoted me total of $2907 for stage 1 dinan I'm trying to negotiate a carbon fiber splitter and diffuser. Why must it always be this game with dealerships? |

I think that is a bit silly. (sounds like part of the $407 might be sales tax, though?) Anyway, the install is not time consuming, but does take a great deal of dexterity. |

For less than half you can get a JB4, mod the car, and have the ability to change between different MAPS. You're not trapped in only stage1 either ... You can get new mods and try different octane fuel while switching MAPs on the fly, also having options to open/close your exhaust flaps, turn active sound on/off, make you LED lights brighter, etc..
Plus you can install it yourself in 30 minutes

Direct them to the Dinan website which states it should be 1.5 hours, so $150 max for labor.

Find an independent Dinan dealer or purchase it from a dealer and install yourself. Comes with complete installation instructions and the module will be programmed already for you. Last edited by A Frankfurt; 08-30-2015 at 07:03 PM.. |

I've owned both. BMS Stg 1 is not the same.
