BMW PPK tune and the Dinan Stage 2 tune are discounted to the $600 range where they should have been all along.
Anyone here with experience using either of those tunes?

I would not waste money on Dinan. Burger will get you the same gains with the ability to turn the tuning on/off on the fly without having to purchase exhaust software or an exhaust kit.
ETA: Dinan does match BMW’s 4 year/50,000 warranty, so if your car is out of warranty I would not bother.

I agree with this. Yes Dinan is okay if you have a warranty concern but Burger Tuning is much better or Cobb.

I have the PPK on my car but it’s been out in the open to anyone with the right SP Daten files and NCSexpert or whatever the BMW software is, that I certainly wouldn’t pay $600 for it unless you have a warranty you need to maintain. Any decent coder will flash it for maybe $100. That’s what I did.
I’ve been meaning to flash MHD on my car since I have the mods to support a Stage 2 tune. I was part of the original beta test group so I might be able to do it for free but I never got around to flashing it on. Gonna do that soon. I need to find where my wife stashed my cable.

MHD > JB4 at this point. Easy flash with an Android device vs. hardwiring a piggyback. Unless you need something specific the JB4 does like E85 maps or water/meth injection, MHD is simpler & cheaper.

MHD over JB4, y0.

$200 for an app that I have to buy an Android device for, and then $50 for each extra flash map, and I still have to bench flash the DME if I’m driving an E9x. Hot garbage.
At least with the JB4 I can uninstall and sell it to recoup some cost. With MHD I’m out $200 or more if my device shits or if I sell the car.

MHD only requires a bench flash on the later E9x electronic wastegate cars starting in mid-2012 that have a different ECU. The earlier pneumatic wastegate cars like mine are a straight flash.
I already have Android devices so I only needed to buy a couple cables.
The license is tied to your Google Play account and VIN, not any individual device on which MHD is installed.

In my AO you an buy a decent tune from a good tuner for $600. Unless you want the warantt it’s still pretty pricey.

Can you re-sell the license after your car is sold? That would be my biggest issue. I’ve already wasted money on a Dinan tune.

A comment so nice, you said it twice.

I don’t think you can re-sell the license to someone else to use on a different car, since the license is tied to google account and VIN.
I suppose if you wanted to make sure the license transfers to the new owner of the car you could set up a google account specifically for buying the MHD license and then give the new owner access to that account. Or there may be a way to have MHD transfer the license to a different google account.
I posted this question in the MHD N55 thread on E90post, we’ll see what they say.

I miss E90Post. Audizine sucks.
