Well semi-bad news. The Dinan flash would not work because my X1 is too new (prod 11/12) and Dinan needs some disk from BMW forthe newer units. So they'll have to send off for the disks. Once they get them they already have my vehicle info and can encode it. It might be by the end of the week, but no promises. So for now no tune, no dyno.

Just to let you know that I left my wife car with DINAN in Morgan Hill CA this monday. They told me that I should get it back by Friday for Stage 1 and 2 performance software development for the 2013 X1 35i xDrive M Sport. I will call them tomorrow to check on it and will keep you posted.

Thank you CIWS and Cfrem15, just a quick update tonight.
DINAN I got an "answer" about the exhaust, Dan said that he will need my car more to look at it...I told him to concentrate on the Stage 1 and 2 performance software first and that the "boss" will need his car on friday. I mentioned also that people on the forum wanted to hear about the DINAN exhaust for the X1 35i. I ordered the cable for the Alpina B3 flash at info@one-stop-electronics.com and started to read all bout it. I sent a PM to Alex@Alpine but did not get any answer yet. Will update back on friday after getting the car back from DINAN. Thanks. |

The dyno that I had originally scheduled for this morning thinking it would be to test the Dinan tune, I'm going to go ahead and do today in order to test the vehicle with the Burger N55 CAI on vs stock. The X1 is stock with the exception of the CAI on now. Any one taking bets on whether it will show any real gains at the wheels ? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller . .

5-10 whp throughout the range... either way excited to see you doing some real comparison testing, Love it.
In regards to the Alpina flash, Alpine said it was not compatible... But he is incorrect.. Talk to cn555ic on the forums, he will be able to help you out. |

Dyno from today with the N55 CAI on. Dotted line is fully stock run.
So it's actually showing to be a little below stock power, but we think that's just the car's ECM and it's boost adjustments with the cold (stock run was 72 deg, today was 42) However no noticeable gains (not that I expected any) just like with most CAIs on stock or lightly mod'd cars. Yes there's audibly more whine and whoosh from the turbo, but the stock box seems to breath just fine, actually a little better at high rpms. Also notice the shape of the acceleration curves are back to almost the same with the "octane booster" pulled back off the car. So get it if you want the more noticeable turbo sound with the car and the cool look under the hood, but if you're looking for solid power gains, this really isn't it on the stock car. That's just my opinion, and we all know they're like acorns Edit - Also note that initially up to about 2100-2200rpms it's actually higher than stock in both pwr and tq. But after that point it drops below stock and stays below.

Good news. If yours is tuned then they should indeed be able to do others. Hopefully they'll get those codes soon and finish mine.

This really isn't that surprising data. Very common that CAI's really don't add real power, unless it was a poorly designed stock intake, has been purposely restricted to reduce noise like the supercharged Cadillacs. (They restrict the intake air to keep the supercharger whine down) Or one starts adding multiple mods and a tune is tweaked with those mods and the CAI.

This thread is great, looking to get a '14 X1 35i when my current lease is up in July. Was also starting to research Cobb AP, Dinan, and burger tuning for what was out there for this vehicle. Keep the info coming....
