dinan software

There is a bmw dealership that is dinan certified near me that does the flashing of the software in house. Supposedly for $1999 they alter the current software to be 355 hp and 401 lbs of torque instead of the 300/300. Has anyone done this? is this safe? and covered under warranty?..

I didn't think the software for the X3 was coming out until late summer early fall. Is this upgrade for the F25 X3 or the N55 in the X5 & X6? And yes Dinan offers warranty.

I was talking to the "m specialist" because he's usually the one I spoke to about my current car (m3) now and I'm pretty sure he was talking about the f25. So let's just say god forbid a turbo blows who would I go to to replace that dinan or the BMW dealership. It would be the first time I really modded anything so I'm just being cautious. I do think 2k isn't that bad for the numbers to go up that high.

Dealer and DINAN would evaluate who is at fault. if it is unrelated to the
DINAN software - then dealer would cover. If it is related to the software/flash - DINAN is on the hook.

DINAN is still working on the software for the F25 (N55). They state that they are having issues establishing communication with the ECU in the F25 and the F10. Software could be released anyday now.
