dme
actually I do not know , what wrong with it . Im not sure if I even need one .
the reason im looking around for dme, is because I took my car to dinan , for the "check engine" light. And there trying to dianose the problem. but at the same time they told me that the dme might be bad. And that Im going to need a new one. My car runs fine, all it is the check enginge light.. I took my car to bmw shop before dinan. And they checked the code and said the air flow meter , might be going out. So thats why I went to dinan. So I can get there air flow meter and programing. But they wanted to find out why the check engine light was on , before they do anything. So if is the dme, I want to be able to find a dme with a good deal. |

Hmm..
I would try reading the codes before i start randomly replacing items. If you send me your email address i can send you an article on how to read the codes yourself. If the dme is bad, I think the car would be showing more problems than the check engine light. |

Just sent it over to you.
I'm not sure how much creedence i would give to Dinan. I know that the HP claims they make on their products are exaggerated and a lot of people think that they are the only way to go only because they are authorized by BMW. I dont know much about they're service department, in my opinion, it sounds like they are trying to hose you for a new, (and rather costly) dme. |

well I have the dinan cold air intake, exhaust, and I wanted to get the air flow meter from them. Since I thought mine was going out. and I figured if I get there airflow meter that would turn my check engine light off.
what do you recommend for a new air flow meter. and what about proggraming ? do you have any peticular parts that you, use ? |

I think that Dinan's stuff is overpriced, and really doesnt do what they claim it will. The HP gains they list on their site are incredibly exaggerated. There's simply no way you are going to add 40HP by just extrude-honing the intake. Sorry, NOT possible. There are plenty other suppliers out there that make products of equal quality for much less. Jim Conforti is the guy you want to seek out. I believe he is most affiliated with Turner Motorsports.
