Where to mount Dinan Sport Tuner
I just added this to my 2016 228i with the N26 engine (I know).
I've read a lot about the install which was a no brainer, except I can't seem to find what I consider a safe, stable place to mount it. I have zip tied it to a piece of tubing about 5/8" in diameter, but I'm not happy. Dinan says to use only a zip tie thru the two holes in a sort of bracket, so to me it's going to flop around a bit. I'm not happy. So can a few of you folks take a picture of where you mounted yours ? I am happy with the added performance, and while not huge is enough to make this little 2 liter wake up. Thanks in advance for your pictures. Doug |

Never mind.
I cleaned the protectant oily stuff that makes plastic shine with brake cleaner and Velcro now will stick to the place where I mounted it. So I'm done.

I've had mine for about 2 months and 3500 miles without incident. I made three drives from Portland to Seattle during that time, too. It's a good bang-for-the-buck mod for sure and adds a noticeable boost in power. It's not earth shattering but it is noticeable, much more so than adding an intake/exhaust and it's much cheaper. Installation will take you a whopping 5 minutes!

I'm in total agreement with hwntime. I used to race in the BMW club series in a 2002 M3
and SCCA in Formula Mazda so you would think I'd want a M3, M4 or M2. No, I wanted a lighter car with modest hp and tq gains to be fun on the street. I will swap out the 17" wheels and tires, the charge pipe and maybe some suspension bits and be happy with it. It's a 2016 with the N26 Sport line. |
