BMW Performance intake or Dinan Intake
I have both intake set ups and just deciding which one to go with. Plus with these intakes I have a 2 different strut bars to match with them. I have a dinan strut bar and the other from E46 M3. I was looking for the carbon Mperformance strut bar but gave up as they are hard to find.
So back to the original question. Does the BMW performance intake require a software tune or dme adaptation is good enough?
Dinan recommends software tune which is another $400. I don't see a ZHP specific tune so Im not sure if it will overwrite the ZHP tune to a regular 330i tune.
Sound differences? Just want to decide between these two and not any other intake
TIA

(And you do not need a tune for Dinan even if they recommend it*)
The SA at Dinan was adamant that I should buy the software right after the install. I asked for zhp software and they said it should work for zhp.
I will be selling the intake and strut bar. Ill post it at the for sale section.
I had to adjust the plastic screw that holds the radiator to make the intake sit flush on the support.
He wants to sell you a $400 tune.... That makes perfect sense. I'm running the Dinan intake in my 2005 ZHP with no problems at all. You absolutely do not need dinan's tune for an intake, but the intake itself will not give you much (if any) HP gains. No intake is going to do much for performance in this car.
