    Noticeable difference from Dinan to JC Chip?

    Planning on going from a Dinan to a JC Chip from TMS for my eta, however idk if it'd be worth spending $200 over something thats not even noticeable in performance gains in all RPMs, has anyone gone tried this?

    I got my shit flashed and installed for free but I never tried the Dinan chip, all I can tell you is that I did notice a difference in power :)

    If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

        on a budget, i did the fleabay chip and put the rest into a 3.25 lsd and it made a hell of a difference.

          hmm arent Dinan more on the conservative side of things to meet CA emissions standards?

              the only thing I've heard id that the dinan chip only get you more power at full throttle, but from what ive heard about the Mark D chip is that it gets you power at all rpm and its supposed to give M20s a bit more midrange
