If I do not have an Android device, is it imperative to wait for the iOS app?

Can you provide any 0-60 or 1/4 mile example times for a stock 228i VS. a 228i with the Dinan Sport?

Thanks!

The driving modes still function normally. Simply with more power to each of them is all. Sport + as far as the unit is concerned is just the name of the power setting and does not correlate to those actual driving modes directly.

You do not have to wait for the iOS app. Without an android device you just won't be able to switch settings is all. Chances are you know a friend that has a Android device in the meantime if you get curious though.

We do not do any 0-60 or 1/4 mile testing. Too many variables at play that can greatly affect a measurement where 0.1 seconds is the difference between great and horrible (especially 0-60 with launch). We stick to dyno's that can be accurately repeated for performance metrics. That said in hypothetical land, given the performance gain you should be seeing reductions of ~0.2 seconds on 0-60 times given same before and after conditions.
