I definitely would've gone Dinan if it weren't so darn expensive. A used one could be a good play, but I haven't seen many or any for sale used, at least on here.

After I installed my Dinantronics Sport, I said I'd never need anything else... We can see what happened to that sentiment I feel like I always want to be doing something new to the car, no matter how minor the change. The kidney grilles and other little items should hold you off for now though

Kidney grills, debadging, coding, map updates, a full clay bar and possibly some colour-matched side markers among other things should hold me off, I hope. Next summer, depending on how the bank accounts looks, it may be a stage 2 build like yours, or an upgrade to the 40i gang

Well in the interest of keeping posted, everything is in. FMIC was a breeze working great and happy with it. Had to take a sawzall to the fan shroud clips, as they didn't fit at all but all in all it took about an hour. The DP however, different story. Me and 2 others, who help me with my car and I help with theirs, have about 12 hours into it. Just a f*cking nightmare. Long story short, the DP is in but I have a heinous exhaust leak. I'll be taking to a custom exhaust place to have them clean it up, hopefully all will be well after that. Don't want to jack this thread, so PM me if you want to hear the full story lol.

Has anyone recorded gains on a 320i yet? I just ordered the sport tuner for my 2016 320i and want to see what the gains look like. If not, I have access to a nearby dyno and can share my results.

Quick update: my sport tuner came in today and I of course got it quickly installed and tested. One of the quickest and easiest installs I've ever done and I'm really happy with the results!
The app works flawlessly with the 320i, connection was great and super quick. Everything is user friendly and nicely laid out. Boost gauge worked flawlessly and seemed to respond immediately and accurately. I first tried it in sport+ and went for a short ride to allow the drivetrain to reach operating temps before I did any pulls. In sport+ you can definetly feel the difference in power compared to stock. Boost was peaking at 11.8psi. After a few pulls in sport+ without any issues, I switched over to the race setting. After the first pull I was really impressed with the power gain! Boost was peaking at 13.75psi in race mode which is pretty impressive. Overall, for $300 I'm very happy with the power gains and can now pass the average prius without being embarrassed😂 Can't wait to get this on a dyno and see how it affects power output to the wheels compared to stock. |

Sure, you still get someone who overdoes a mod project. But today's modders now have access to what the car manufacturers have had since day 1: Collective experience. You want to know if mod X sucks, you turn to the Internet. Ton of negative feedback? That part doesn't go on your car. The funny thing thing is the manufactures themselves all jumped into the mod business over the last 15 years. Everything from big wheels, mufflers, differentials, body kits, body wraps, branded swag, at one time exclusive to the mod scene. Now, if it's popular enough, the manufactures either borrow the idea or re-badge an existing product, add a warranty to it, then call it 'official' while charging a premium. Perhaps in a later era mods were more a DIY kind of thing. Now, who is modding a car without checking google first? DinanSport ordered. Looking forward to giving it try. |

Hi, relatively new to BMWs here. Does the Dinantronics Sport module necessitate a change in spark plugs? Maybe one step colder? What is recommended?
Thanks!

It works great on a totally stock car, no spark plug change necessary.

Don't forget, the software may not sync up with a lot of android phones.
Dinan won't update the software, but a TON of complaints about it. I have a spare iphone, and it's usually set it once and forget it, but it's nice to have the option with the daily driven android. |

Rich smell
I installed the sport tuner in my n20 late last year, been loving the extra power in comfort mode. Just recently I discovered a strong smell of unburnt fue during startup, was only able to notice when I was in an enclosed garage so it might have been there the whole time and I just didn’t notice...
Is this something normal? Has anyone else noticed it? Should I be worried? |
