Not that I am aware of. If the car was manufactured after April/May 2019 or has been to the dealer for any service since approximately that time though you will almost certainly have a bootloader that needs to be backdated.

So, we would have to re-flash every time after service visits? Or, can we request they skip plugging in?

You would need to request that your DME not be updated when taking the car into the dealership. If updated, back to a newer bootloader the process would need to start over again.

For example: 4.14.3x-4.15.3x ISTA (and Pszdata) = 18-11-551 ISTEP (old bootloader). 4.16.10 ISTA (and Pszdata) = 19-03-522 ISTEP (updated bootloader). See the included version/i-level chart for reference: Obviously, for those local - we can check for you on the spot. If taking the car in for service, ask your SA that they do not update the vehicle at this time.

One more question.
Is stage 1 compatible with CA 91 fuel. Any issues with daily driving? Thanks

If the DME is sent back for backdating are there any negative effects? Were there any updates in the updated BMW DME's that were improvements or bug fixes that get lost when things are backdated?

The backdating is localized to the bootloader itself and does not touch any of the programming or coding so the car will have the same updates and patches it had pre-flash.

Seems like a lot of work just to get a small bump in HP and retain warranty. I hope some of you guys who flash can get some real world results and report back. My wallet is ready! haha.

Contact Pete or Logan at Matrix Integrated or Sean at BMW Portland (or service dept) either is an excellent choice.

I have DINAN S2, installed in the spring. (S1 was last year) can I upgrade to this, or should I? Is there a benefit? I race a Formula Continental now, so my F80 Competition feels slow.

I would screenshot or save this comment if anyone is considering this, given the of spun hubs we've seen 😂

Benefit of the flash would be no governor and a smoother linear power band if you are looking at the matching warranty variant. If you went with the stage 1 without the factory matching warranty then you would have the above plus the ability to get a healthy amount of additional power given better fuel with the more aggressive fueling maps.

My bad. I just assumed we were comparing like products.
The only other 2 warranted tunes that I am aware of are $50 cheaper and significantly more expensive then the variant you reference. Major difference between the alternatives and Dinan however is the wide geographic coverage for support via a dealer network. The limited warranty tune is a bit more expensive then most competition but nowhere near a 3x multiple (Actually 1.13 -1.29x for the vast majority of the marketplace). |

Curious if it'll be worth doing on the N55 M2 since our engines don't have a lot of headroom to work with. Looking forward to the release none the less. |
