235Beast's car with the Dinan CAI and Dinantronics Sport Tuner was an incredible lift in power. This car is quick, very quick and to the point we were a bit scared that the tires couldn't handle the surge in power and speed in the turns.
In regards to the snow valve, that gets removed and they give you a plate and 4 rivets to cover up the hole after removing the snow valve. Make sure you have a rivet gun or borrow one. Other things to note, there is a piece of rubber that is about 4 inches long that I believe (as we found out) fits on the metal close to the Air Intake Box. PM me and we can take pics of what I mean. Without it you could scratch the Dinan box cover like we did. Also, remember to line the box with the weather stripping before putting on the cover. All in all, the CAI and Tuner combined with the MPE (ordered with the M235) made for some very cost effective performance. Honestly 235Beast does not need any more power. I would think this thing is pushing about 370 HP with little to no turbo lag. |

I thought the MPPK was just the Tune from BMW. I never saw a CAI other than the Dinan. Anyway, I think it's a great upgrade and I'm now looking to see what I can do the same for the X5 (F15).

Wouldn't worry about the 1 year warranty. Used a visa that doubles the warranty so I have 2 years and in the event something happens I'll unplug it and no one will know I had it on. |

One thing I thought was really neat, there is an App (Andriod currently, iPhone coming soon) that connects to the Dinan chip through Bluetooth. You can dial in this thing up to a max of 4 PSI and down to -3 PSI. |

That Dinan Stage 2 with a Dinan CAI must be wickedly fast. I can only imagine. |

Quick questions - is the iPhone app coming out? - is the tune set at 4PSI? Or do you need the app to do that? Whats the difference in aggression/PSI difference between the modes? |

Tune by default is set to Sport+ (+3PSI out of the box). Would need the BT app to change that as there is no physical dial on the unit to do so. the modes are: Valet = -3PSI, Stock = Stock, Sport = +2PSI, Sport+ = +3PSI, Race = +4PSI |

So stock is essentially the same thing as not having the tune on, correct? |

And since all M235i have the MPPK standard, the gain was 10 HP for us too, cause Dinan website says up to 30 HP gain so was thinking ours was minimal HP gain. But you feel it more than 10 HP right? man I need to order that and then the Dinan CAI, 370 HP would be awesome |

I got my Dinan intake tonight and within an hour of UPS leaving it was installed. My car is leased so I didn't want to modify the snow valve with the block-out plate so I just removed it for now and left a hole. MPPK lower airbox will be here Saturday so i'll swap the stock bottom out and put the MPPK box in (M235i's definitely don't have the MPPK airbox). Temps are cool up here in the Northeast and tonight during the obligatory post-install test drive my air intake temp gauge was reading 62 degrees so i'm not terribly worried for a few days. This thing does sound great though. Drove to the store with the windows down just so I could hear it better . I noticed a little better throttle response but that could just be me and not really be due to the intake. MPE should be going on this weekend then I will treat myself to the Dinantronics stage 2 after Christmas.

Just installed the dinan cai and i am happy to report that it was a relatively simple installation which my brother and I did ourselves. We aren't the most experienced when it comes to cars but it went off without a hitch. Runs great, sounds great. Next up, stage 2 when I save up some more scratch.
