Dinan and the 740i
Hi all..
New here, and looking at the 740i (and the 550i, but that's for the other forum). Has anyone heard anything as to whether or not Dinan plans an upgrade for the 740i? I've searched the forums and haven't been able to find anything yet. I love that car, but want more power. I can't quite get to the 750i configured the way I'd like it, which makes the 740i very attractive.. thanks! Ken |

A buddy of mine called Dinan this afternoon, and they told him they were working on a software upgrade for 60-100 hp gain.
I'm curious too. John

maybe if we all post on their site for updates on the F01/02 platform, they'll move a little quicker. I just put in my contact info and then told them what I was looking for in the text box.

Dinan has been working on the 4.4l TTV8 engine (X6 50i and F01/F02, etc) for well over a year now. I think back in May or June of last year is when they got their hands on an X6 with this engine and started to work on the software tune. Then they added or changed the turbos and a whole slew of other things. A couple month later they got their first F01 and kept working on the software tune for the engine. I haven't really followed it since then...
