warranty issue - tune

I went to service and talked them about official tune. they dont have for bmw 2021 - 330i. only they have software tune for M version.

I asked them about dinan warranty, they said no more partnership with dinan. so he said if you tune your car we will void your warranty. even he is my friend.

so do you guys is there any safe option to make tune my bmw?
i really want to tune my car without void warranty.

thank you for any advice!

1. They don't have a software tune for the M version (they as in dealer, not BMW - BMW probably has a higher tune for the M(3/4/5)C/CS).
2. Dinan probably offers a warranty. I'm not sure they do now. But i believe they used to (unless I'm confusing Dinan with another brand). This is not backed by BMW though.

But yes. If you tune your car, you should be ready to pay out of pocket because no matter what (Magnuson-Moss warranty act including), the dealer can take you for a ride and it will turn out to be a hassle fighting with them and BMW regarding honouring warranty.

At its core Dinan offers 2 base options; Stage 1 and Dinan +. The Dinan Stage 1 Performance Engine Software is designed for the B46 engine to yield maximum power (for a variety of different octanes), improve drivability, and remove the factory speed governor for unadulterated entertainment. The Dinan + variant of software offers these same features (albeit limited to 91/93 octane) but also carries the signature Dinan 4yr / 50k, factory matching new car warranty that the brand is synonymous with.

Dinan matches the BMW factory warranty on the drivetrain if something were to happen. It is not a BMW warranty. Your BMW warranty would remain all other aspects of the vehicle.

That being said, Dinan is one of the best in the biz with tuning and they tune to safe power levels and thoroughly test all of their software via dyno, track testing, and altitude testing.

Keep in mind that once you flash a vehicle, any OTA update will effectively erase the Dinan software. The 21+ DMEs are not able to be flashed yet though as that encryption hasn't been cracked.

Turn it off in your myBMW app. I haven’t been updated since, and it basically stopped downloading them.

They have a warranty. It's their Dinan + product.

So unless they're back pedaling from this, I think you're misunderstanding.

The Dinan+ flash carries the factory matching new car warranty (4yr/50k). It's a Dinan warranty, not BMW. The Stage 1 flash does not carry the factory matching warranty, nor does the Dinantronics X or Dinantronics Sport. Perhaps they misunderstood which tuning option you were after is my best guess.
