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
I have the dinan intake, you do not HAVE to have the dinan tune to go along with it. I'm sure it's the same with the BMW performance. They're so easy to swap out, just go with which ever one sounds/looks best to you. Performance gains are going to be minimal with just an intake. Honestly, I don't notice much of a sound difference with the dinan intake, but it looks good in the engine compartment and I got it for a good deal. I'd like to hear your thoughts if you decide to try them both out and compare!
