This is the beauty of a turbo engine. When the engine is not in boost (below about 3K rpm) it is sipping gas like a small non-turbo engine would. It is only in higher boost levels that more fuel is used. It all depends on your right foot, if you drive gently the car will use the same or slightly more gas than stock and if you drive it at wide open it will use more.
WILL DINAN PARTS BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED/CPO WARRANTY THROUGH BMW?
The Dinan warranty matches the new car 4 year / 50,000 mi warranty but does not cover any extended or CPO warranties
WILL STOCK PARTS HOLD UP TO THE ADDED POWER GAINED FROM PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE?
Dinan performance engine software is not designed to push your vehicle to the point of potential failure. Part of their R&D process is scrutinizing every component for the ability to handle the extra power added to the system. Company work very hard engineering their products to work within the limits of the engine components, and feel as confident about their products as BMW does about theirs. However, frequently tracked or aggressively driven vehicles should shorten maintenance intervals to account for wear and accelerated fluid breakdown.
CAN I FLASH MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE STOCK TUNE?
Yes, you have the ability to flash the vehicle back to stock but the process would need to be completed by a dealer. There is no cost to do so from Dinan but you would potentially be subject to dealer labor rates to perform the service.
AFTER INSTALLING DINAN PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE WHO CAN SERVICE MY BMW?
Anyone.
