G30 performance info

I’m running Dinan stage 1 tuner on 540 m sport. With m performance exhaust and just ordered a BNS intake. It’s the only intake I could find for the g series. Anybody else have any info on it responds too it. Or other intakes they know of for it?

I am running stock intake with MPE and RaceChip GTS Black w/ app and RaceChip XLR.
Car is very quick and responsive now.
I was thinking to get a BMC drop in filter, but based on my research, since F-series chassis, BMW air filter really as good as aftermarket.

I don't dyno it.
The closest dyno is 1 hour away. But my butt dyno says about 30-40hp on the wheel.
No CEL and I daily drive it about 20 miles a day.

Short and r33

Can either of you please take the time to post up a quick vid of your set ups?

Start up, In Cabin and maybe a take off or drive.

Would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 540i with mpe on the way trying to decide on which tuning route I want to go.

Thanks in advance

Bad luck

So I took the car out for a trip to the store. Got out of the car went into store and when I came back out I had a drivetrain malfunction error on my I drive screen. The car was just sitting at idle. I've had a few issues with cel and once a drive train malfunction. But it went away. I had the car at dealer ship and they fixed a temp sensor. I I reinstalled the tuner exactly to the directions. It's been running really good ever since until today. So I'm not 100% on Dinan stage 1. I been reading other posts on here about the same issue. And everyone seems to say they always clear themselves. So just a heads up. Has there been any issues with the race chip for half the price of the Dinan.

FWIW, I haven't had any issues with my Dinan S1 yet.. and I drive it fairly aggressively (always in Sport+, and usually transmission in sport as well). I do add the Lucas oil octane booster to it though, as the tune w/ 91 octane feels a little crappy at the top end. With the booster it definitely makes it smoother and cleaner.

No issue on my end with RaceChip Ultimate or RaceChip GTS Black.
Daily drive the car, even recently took it for a round trip to Vegas.

Got the dragy yesterday, but it has been sprinkling. So, haven't got a chance to do a log.

I have had the stage 1 in place for two months now. Most times I'm running 91 octane… Once in a while I probably put in 89… I have had no issues to date. No errors or faults or other. A little bit of a fast idle at start, but it settles right down. At highway speed's the stage 1, I feel is most noticeable. For around the town driving, I'd say it's as smooth and comfortable as it was before I added the Dinan tune. Thumbs up from me.
