Dinan performance upgrades

Does anyone think Dinan will release a chip that will produce the same hp increase as other chips (70 or so?). If they do, will it void your warrenty or will it be covered if the dealership installs it?

Thanks

all dinan parts dont void warranties as long as there installed by a recognized dealership. 70hp for a naturally aspirated car seems way to high btw...

I am sure that Dinan is working on this now and there is likely to be some combo of chip and tweaking of the turbos etc so 70 hp may not be out of the question. Just dialing up the turbos a bit can change the performance dramatically.

Just to give you guys a heads up because I know many people high up in the industry especially sense I use to work for the #1 Dinan dealer in the us... Dinan is not doing to good and currently is close to going under... There is a long story behind this but dont expect anything and if you do not for a long time. BMW has broke off offically from Dinan and starting this year 2007 BMW will not be offering coverage on Dinan parts.. BMW is already in the process of coming out with there own motorsports line which will be covered by BMW. Hope this helps
