We have the DINAN ECU upgrade for our 2015 X1 i4 -- I'm not as impressed with it as I was hoping for the $1500; I'm happier with the 228i out of the box than I am with the DINAN-mapped X1. Of course, I'm sure it's different on every car, and I may have a different impression on my car.
The stock tuning of the same engine across different platforms varies wildly. For example the N20/N26 in the 2-Series coupe pulls a lot harder than the same engine in a 3-Series sedan. I have no idea of the effect of a tune on an SUV.
