Dinan S3 BMW 335i – Specialty File

Dinan S3 BMW 335i – Specialty File

The car you see here was no doubt envisioned by a legion of Internet dreamers—breathlessly commenting, “Crank up the boost!”—mere seconds after BMW debuted the twin-turbo 335i for 2007. But it took five Dinan employees hacking away at BMW’s software for a year and a half to finally make it happen.

It was worth the wait. Steve Dinan has sold more than 2000 software upgrades for the 135i/335i, making it the most popular upgrade in his company’s 31-year history. And it’s easy to see why: For $2199, a simple download at one of Dinan’s 129 U.S. dealers immediately endows a 335i with as much as 384 horsepower and 421 pound-feet of torque (versus 300 and 300, respectively). Dinan notes that this is actually more like a 60-hp gain, as BMW’s twin-turbo inline-six comfortably makes more than the advertised 300 horsepower in stock form.

About BMW Performance Chips

Today in the ‘generation Y’ era virtually everything is run through computer systems and automobiles are no exception. The BMW performance chip is proven to increase horsepower and fuel economy of of the most elite commercial vehicle on the market today

History
bmw-performance-chips-1
The creation of performance chips started with advancements in space exploration technology and eventually became an accessible additive for the automobile industry. The progression of BMW performance chip technology over time has led to the evolution of brands that provide more control over the physical operation of the vehicle to the owner. Since the advent of performance chips, BMW owners are now able to customize their vehicles’ operation to their exact specifications.

Function
bmw-performance-chips-2
Essentially the function of the BMW performance chip is to give the driver more control over her vehicle, especially after a large number of modifications and upgrades have been made to different parts. For example, the addition of BMW M5 touring high performance brakes to one’s sport package would call for a vehicle with the added horsepower that a performance chip provides. The modification is not mandatory, but some BMW enthusiast might argue the new brakes would be put to waste without the additional horsepower. The performance chip works as the intermediary between the BMW engine and the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to dictate the exact rate of acceleration, through adjustments in torque and fuel expenditure. The most simple upgrade takes control of ignition timing, dictates how much fuel is injected into each cylinder and regulates valves.

Installation

Installation of a BMW performance chip depends on the brand, but the most convenient type is installed through the glove compartment, by unscrewing the lid to the ECU box, and replacing the stock chip with the upgrade. This is a very simple procedure that usually takes no more than 30 minutes. More complex upgrades require the help of a mechanic. Continue reading About BMW Performance Chips
