Good info by Lotus - according to those figures the Dinan tune would have to seriously be detuned or it would greatly exceed the max recommended torque for the tranny.
Dinan has announced their performance upgrade for the 35i (N55) in the past couple days. It looks like this will be available for the X3 soon. The big advantage is the warranty is still valid, it is dealer installed so we are covered. Dinan is the tune that I am considering once it is available.

The other tune that I have read positive results about is the Proceed tune kit. It has shown awesome results, however, you are looking at warranty issues again.

Lotus, again thanks for the technical explanation.

January 17th, 2012

Dinan releases their Performance Software for the N55 twin-scroll turbocharged BMW engine. Here are the details:

“After hundreds of hours of hard work by the Dinan engineering team the N55 Performance Software is now available for immediate download via OBDII at all Dinan Dealers around the world.

Dinan, the most trusted name in the BMW aftermarket is now offering the most anticipated Performance Software in years and as always is covered by the most comprehensive and longest warranty, a BMW new car factory matching warranty coverage up to 4 years / 50,000 miles.

It is well known that the N55 engine software has been a tough nut to crack. Our 4 full time software engineers were able to make a blistering fast software tune that will push your guts into your spine, smoke the tires and put a big smile on your face. Using years of experience tuning BMWs for the street as well as winning back-to-back Grand-AM DP Championships and the 2011 24 Hours of Daytona the Dinan team is the best in the business.

Dinan Performance Software is so much more than just tuning up the turbo boost. It is a fully re-tuned engine management program that maximizes power while keeping all the BMW factory safeguards in place. Protecting your BMW while giving the most performance is the definition of “Performance Without Sacrifice”. Drivetrain and engine components are analyzed for strength then the program is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability. Dinan matches the new car warranty coverage for up to 4 years or 50,000 miles, including the possibility of consequential damages. The top speed governor is removed (X5 & X6 top speed, 155 mph), enabling the BMW to achieve its full potential.
