Dinan-Flashed Car reaches 175mph

Bubbles · 01-23-2008, 04:03 AM

Seems like he ran out of space.

See my cut and paste job below from L Seca from Bimmerfest:

"When I was on my ED adventure last summer, I verified the sport pkg speed limiter at an indicated 150 mph. The actual speed measured on my Garmin Nuvi was 145. Not bad.

So I got the Dinan software flash as a Christmas present (what a wife!), and had an opportunity to confirm that the software does in fact remove the limiter. See the attached screenshot from the Nuvi. This was done legally at a private test facility - don't try this on a public highway!"

Woot!

As soon as I get my car back, im gonna do the V2 Procede Delimit and Max out on the Autobahn.. I will also take a picture and post Max possible speed of our cars

Cheers!

Im going to do the same in germany, but need the summer tires first. Means have to wait a few weeks.

Bubbles · 01-23-2008, 07:27 AM

I wonder if he did the speed test on run-flats? Either way its good to see that speed limiter removal actually works.

derek0480 · 01-23-2008, 08:29 AM

WOW....I was just going to put up a post and ask if anyone had verified that the dinan really does remove the limiter.

I got the dinan 2 weeks ago and have been dying to find out. Got it up to 140 last night but had to slow down b/c there were some turns coming up.

I will still need to verify for myself of course.

jadeddjay · 01-23-2008, 08:33 AM

how does the car feel at 175?

phrozen06 · 01-23-2008, 08:36 AM

Good stuff.

Damn hope you guys have good tires and tight suspension when you get up to those speeds.

I have the run flats

But HR Sway front and rear, Koni FSD, Quaife LSD, Front M Aero Lip, Real trunk spoiler, 12mm spacers all around..

Think i should be stable enough as i did these mods specifically for highspeed driving purposes.. Will report back in a few days

bullmrkt · 01-23-2008, 10:40 AM

Nice. Who's going to be the first to break 180mph?! *Must include a photo of GPS unit or screenshot of GPS software to qualify!

stressdoc · 01-23-2008, 10:46 AM

I really don't want to read about who got their 335 airborne first. Leave the high speed experiments to folks with experience.

fast_lap28 · 01-23-2008, 02:03 PM

yeah guys, make sure your setups are meant to handle the high speeds. in particular your suspension setups which are key! if not you may be doing one of these two:

Cool videos... But not going to happen to our cars unless someone decides to install a full flat under body tray, ground hugging aerodynamics, and slams the car 0.5" from the ground.

That being said, everyone be careful. Check your tire pressures first and preferably have a set of good coilovers installed. Oh and only try this on an abandoned runway, racetrack, or the autobahn if youre lucky enough to live over there!

The guy used Michelin PS2 mounted on stock rims.
"The pavement was a little bumpy, and there was some cross wind. So above 150 it felt a little jumpy. Below 150 was solid as a rock."

Wosby · 02-24-2008, 12:17 AM

A completely stock 335i feels solid at 150. Took mine up to it's limit during my European Delivery last July. I'd be curious to see how she feels at 175. Dinan, here I come.

ulises 335i · 02-24-2008, 01:14 AM

i had that worry when i took my ED. apparently some just dont care. i mean...if you leased, you dont have to care too much...

Jonmartin · 02-24-2008, 01:38 AM

Not surprising the Alpina B3 was tested up to 192mph.

garyhgaryh · 02-24-2008, 02:05 AM

so I assume the speedo needle doesn't hit the gas gauge
