I had it on my X3 28i before they launched the app and it worked great. I now have a flash tune done by Enzo Performance and compared to Dinan, Dinan is conservative. The great thing about the Dinan DINANTRONICS is that you now have the ability to swap between stage 1 and stock via the bluetooth app. If you are considering any upgrades beyond stage 1, like a catless downpipe, going with a flash tune is your best bet.

Did you have the dealer install? I'm very interested in doing this! If you have any videos I would appreciate hearing the sound. Thank you very much!!!

I know a former BMW technician and he installed it locally. Im not sure its made much of a change in the sound but definitely a performance boost when you step on it but no change in the everyday drivability or in gas mileage when driving it casually.

300 def not low but you get use to it, especially driving your Macan
imagine what the other 28i (240hp) are dealing with ? thats why it was a must for me to tune it 3 months into owning it added a $600 flat racechip to bring it to 35i stock power , wonder what a 35i w/ racechip compares to the Dinan st1 ... Cuz when I had racechip on the 28i and my friend had Dinan St1 on his 28i his felt faster (Butt) but RC won lol

Hopefully we get to see if the 35i Dinan St1 360/390 (crank) is faster or not than X4 M40i 355hp/343tq crank
1/4 mile, roll and dyno (im doing it all to have hard proof lol)
