Carbahn Autoworks Tune
Does anyone know anything about this? It's listed there is a warranty that mirror's the factory one for an additional $1500. So $3000 for the flash tune and the warranty. It's Dinan's new company apparently.
I have a local dealer very close to my house so this is intriguing. https://carbahnautoworks.com/product...-2019-present/ Last edited by trev230; 12-27-2019 at 05:18 PM.. |

I'm about to do this tune through my local shop who is an authorized Carbahn dealer since their website states "this can ONLY be installed at an Authorized Carbahn dealer" I'm assuming for the warranty to properly be honored.
Will let you know how it works out for me. I believe this is the best option considering they will match my factory 4 yr 50,000 miles/80,000 km and the fine print reads "The warranty will, without charge for parts or labor, repair or replace the defective CarBahn Autoworks’ component(s), as well as any original vehicle manufacturer’s component(s) that may have been directly affected by a CarBahn Autoworks component, using new or authorized remanufactured parts." |

I won't know costs til after new year as my local shop is currently closed for holidays. I'm doing stage 1 for now as I think that's all they currently offer but I do plan on stage 2 later down the road. As far as customer using warranty I think it's still to early to tell since this tune was released this month for the F90 platform. Once I'm tuned I will get it on a dyno and see what it's making, I'd be happy with a conservative 660whp which should be easily achieved with the mods I already have installed (Eventuri V2 intake, Keller DP+MP & Akrapovic Evo exhaust).

That doesn't make much sense, for example no one does stage 2 without downpipes since the factory cats have a chance to overheat and cause issues and under the Carbahn warranty fine print it says nothing about mods. Guess I will have a chat with them and report back! |

Emissions legality: "A note on down pipes (removing the catalyst). We have run back to back dyno runs with the cat on and off and the power gain is much smaller than most people claim. We all need to breathe the air. Its difficult to get your car its required emissions test without catalyst and it’s illegal." I believe the reason they state this is because they are located in California which has very strict emission laws so any down pipe can be deemed illegal.

I received this email from Carbahn regarding some questions I sent them. I will try to upload the dyno graph but looks like 620TQ 650HP at the wheels.
Are you guys part of Dinan? No, we are not a part of Dinan, however we are owned by Steve Dinan. Is there continuation of the factory warranty after the tune? For how long/mileage? Our warranty matches the new car warranty year for year, mile for mile. We approve and pay warranty claims from here directly to the repair facility so you pick up your car with a $0 invoice. Will any other mods invalidate that warranty? It is possible that other companies parts may cause a failure. If the dealer determines it was another modification that cause the failure we would not cover the damages that resulted from that. Do you have any dyno runs I can look at? Attached - drive train loss 17% for AWD automatic 774 hp / 726lb ft What is the cost? $1500 software $1500 warranty Have you had any claims on the warranty and how were they handled? Currently on this car we have not, however in other scenarios, we work directly with your dealer to make sure our software is the cause for failure and if it is agreed upon that by Steve Dinan and the dealer we pay for it. Steve has had the longest aftermarket new car warranty matching system. He is great about making sure that you the customer and the dealer have full communication during the warranty claim period.

If I can convince my local dealer to install this ...this would be a great option stress free...to maintain a running engine as we know the F10/F90 engines do not last with aggressive ECU tunes

its not backed by BMW. Its Steve Dinan's new venture and he is recreating his old play book. it would be carbahn that would pay for any warranty claims, NOT BMW> they have nothing to do with it, nor support it.

Previously with Dinan, participating BMW dealers were willing to sell and install the Dinan Tunes and not immediately seek to flag or void your warranty on installation of the Tunes; this helped with future service, OEM software updates, etc. This was of course not BMW backing the Tune, but it is worth something to have BMW participate in the process. On the other hand, BMW would certainly know about the process under those circumstances. I plan to stay stock in terms of Tunes, but I am interested to see how this issue develops.

I just contacted my dealership (and Carbahn directly) and they are an authorized installer (Durham, NC dealer). My dealership was an authorized Dinan installer by the way.
Just wanted to pass on the information as I was patiently waiting for this to become available. 774 flywheel HP & 726 LB/FT flywheel torque for $3169.99 + tax is what I was quoted. |

The wheel power gains are about 60whp and 75whtq, so for pump gas its pretty decent. Also the selling dealer can move on price you just need to see if they are willing to work out a deal. - Ask them about a demo of it, they normally allow you try it for a set period of time. |
