The car is very fast w/ the tune. I find myself rarely going to "Sport Mode" as I get more than enough power in comfort mode. If I want to spice things up a bit, I move just the shifter to the m/s position for more aggressive shift points and more engine braking. In sport mode w/ shift lever to the m/s, the car is a beast. I'm still getting 26.X MPG in town with it. I couldn't be happier considering the car can run w/ the big boys should I choose to, I may not win, but I'll be right on their tail. One last thing, I find I still have some hesitation if I do not come to a complete stop. Like pausing as you roll up to an intersection before going, there is a hesitation. But again, that's a rare instance...dead stops are perfect. Last edited by USA-RET; 12-10-2017 at 04:29 PM.. |

This car blew my hair back (I have none) as stock, but with all the mods I have added have really taken it to a very noticeable level on craziness, which is what's most desired by me cause I am a child, .... BTW, had an email exchange with Nathan at Dinan this week on what to expect down the line, this is a COPY/PASTE: /////////////////// MY QUESTION: - PS - any idea when we will see the Stage [2,3,4] CAI, Intercooler, turbo? HIS RESPONSE: Stage 2 / Intake will be Q1 2018. Stage 3 / Intercooler most likely will never come to be since the factory intercooler is built into the intake manifold. If stage 3 does manage to come to light it will be in the form of a heat exchanger most likely. Stage 4 / turbo is being worked on but WAY early in development. ///////////////////

I talked to a guy at Turner Motorsport who I know and he assured me that the Stage 1 would eliminate turbo lag and increase hp to 311. Also, no warranty issues installing Dinan. Think I might take the plunge. Th 228ix is quick but I just want a little additional kick.

Just drove into work this morning on Econ mode, .... holy crap that is slow, BUT, I did not notice any throttle lag at all, the vehicle is just slower, in terms of instantaneous velocity. The car still drives well though.

I only did it this morning to see what is was like, to see if I could control myself for the duration of my very long commute of 4 miles to work. I only drive Sport/+, and occasionally Comfort when driving down my street late at night.

About 4 inches dropped last night, still Snowing this morning, 26 degree, people driving 40mph on the parkway, then me driving AROUND them doing about 65-70, ... in sport mode.
I kept it on the entire trip, ....... the whole way. One thing I i discovered is that in the end this car still drives extremely well no matter what mode it is in, just not always like a race car, but feels great, feels like I have a REAL machine under my seat!

I tried multiple product over the year to clear the throttle lag on multiple BMW and never was satisfied. I tried (and am currently running) a BMW Pedal Tuner which to my knowledge, research and comparing product should be a rebranded DTE System Throttle tuner. Works great and use it mostly in the lowest mode and it helped a lot. Not always perfect but makes the throttle more enjoyable in 90% occasion especially in comfort mode. I did not like the Sprint Booster which would cause some inconsistencies and some jerkyness in the past. I know this booster just modulate the throttle signal to simulate a more agressive press but made daily driving more enjoyable to me which was the buying factor

Warm up before you leave ... as in letting it standing there an idle? Worst thing you can do to a car

I've heard Pedal Commander isn't to great. Weapon R has some good reviews but i believe its cheaper quality. I use a Sprint Booster because i know a BMW mechanic and he recommended it. Got mine during a sale on SprintBoosterSales.com

True, although it is wise to allow the engine to warm up while driving before pushing the RPMs. Which is why I miss having an oil temperature gauge in my M240i.

If you run an obd2 to see the throttle pos sensor you will find that curve is very slow in eco and progressively gets sharper as you advance through the modes. For example, in eco mode you need to apply nearly 70% physically to electronically equate to 50% throttle position. The Dinan tune doesn't change the position, but does improve the power available at all throttle inputs making the car feel more responsive and quicker even in eco mode. Honestly I felt eco mode was basically unusable before the tune, and now I prefer to use eco mode when driving around town in traffic.
