Having said all this, it's not clear to me that the E89 with DCT really can use the tune on the street. Track, maybe, but the DCT to so flexible and fast that you run out of road before you get to torque and rpm limits.
Glad I bought a manual. Let me know if you hear any new info from Dinan. I called them the other day and never received a call back.
