Dinan Performance Engine Software - BMW 2016-2018 M2 F87
Dinan has a long and storied past when it comes to engine tuning having introduced our first engine performance chip in the mid 80's - over 3 decades ago. From those early years with chips, followed by engine software and then to our own external control modules we have become experts in nearly every possible way to extract safe, reliable power from the factory powerplant. While we have long preferred the unheard of control and sophistication capable of being achieved from engine software, over the past 6 years that option was not one afforded to us. That changes now with the re-introduction to flash tuning for Dinan with the S55, and now, N55 engines.
The start of the next generation of Dinan flash tunes, the N55 calibrations are held to the same principles of the past; performance, reliability, and safety. Dinan performance engine software is so much more than just turning up the turbo boost after all. 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 calibration is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability.
This generation of Dinan flash tunes does differ from the past however in that there are multiple octanes to choose from depending on your needs, desires or limitations. Whether you need a tune for 91 pump gas living in California or want to experience maximum performance on 104 octane race gas at the track or something in between, chances are Dinan has an option for you.
The Dinan + Performance engine software is designed for the completely stock N55 engine and yields more power, improved drivability while also removing the factory speed governor for maximum enjoyment. Dinan + variants of engine software also carry the signature Dinan 4yr / 50k, factory matching warranty that the brand is synonymous with.
Dinan+ Features:
- More Power: Max gains of 46 WHP / 69 lb-ft of torque over stock on 93 octane. Consult the performance charts for additional octanes and detailed data.
- Factory matching warranty coverage (4year / 50,000 mi), including the possibility of consequential damages.
- Calibrated to work exclusively with pump gas (91 and 93 octane).
- No required parts. Install on a stock car and receive the full power gains.
- Full map rescaling for drivability from idle to wide-open throttle and everywhere in between.
- Top speed governor removed.
- Sport Cooling in manual mode for optimum track effectiveness.
- Upgradeable from DINANTRONICS - See the FAQ linked below for details
- Retains all BMW factory engine safeguards and adds additional safety protections such as the stationary rev limiter being set to 5000 RPM.
- Torque gains drastically improve acceleration.
- Sport gauges rescaled to reflect higher than stock power output.
- Downloads through the OBD2 Port - See compatability notice at the bottom of the product page.
Stage 1 Features:
- More Power: Max gains of 67 WHP / 98 lb-ft of torque over stock on 104 octane. Consult the performance charts for additional octanes and detailed data.
- Dinan Stage 1 performance software includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects in the software and provides free updates and reflashes as they become available. Labor or shipping charges are not included in the warranty.
- Access to numerous octane calibrations depending on your needs (91, 93, 100 and 104). Switching between mappings would require a reflash at a Dinan authorized dealer.

Stage 2 Dinan performance engine tuning for the N55 powered M2 takes that step forward and optimizes the power curve for the track. Taking advantage of supporting hardware (Dinan big turbo and an upgraded intercooler), the stage 2 engine calibration delivers additional top end power where you need it most when driving competitively; at redline.
While increases in power typically come at a cost to the engine's durability, this is typically due to improper calibrations that are simply after one goal regardless of engine health - maximum power. Dinan's stage 2 mappings when used in conjunction with supporting hardware are safe and reliable without sacrificing long-term reliability or performance. Dinan performance engine software is so much more than just turning up the turbo boost after all. It is a fully re-tuned engine management program that maximizes power while keeping all the BMW factory safeguards in place. In most cases Dinan software engineers also implement their own additional safety precautions in order to guarantee flawless performance that may not have been needed with factory power levels/programming. Protecting your BMW, while giving the most performance, is the definition of "Performance Without Sacrifice". To do just that, drivetrain and engine components are analyzed for strength, and then the calibration is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability. This process has been a cornerstone of Dinan software development for decades and a major reason why Dinan performance tunes are often labelled as being the smoothest, factory-like solution in the marketplace.
With factory-like reliability/safety and a track optimized power curve, it is hard to find a reason not to upgrade to stage 2 for optimum asphalt terrorizing enjoyment.
Stage 2 Features:
- More Power: Max gains of 77 WHP / 102 lb-ft of torque over stock on 104 octane and in conjunction with the Dinan big turbo and an upgraded intercooler. Consult the performance charts for additional octanes and detailed data.
- Dinan Stage 2 performance software includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects in the software and provides free updates and reflashes as they become available. Labor or shipping charges are not included in the warranty.
- Access to numerous octane calibrations depending on your needs (91, 93, 100 and 104). Switching between mappings would require a reflash at a Dinan authorized dealer.

See compatibility notice at the bottom of the product page for information on potential limitations to an OBD2 flash for international M2's.
COMPATABILITY NOTICE - BOX CODES
BOX CODES: While Dinan has created files for all known North American M2 box codes we have not had access to international box codes. In these instances we will need to create a file for your vehicle. This process could take several days and multiple dealer visits.
