It seems to work, but whoever designed the UI deserves to be shot. The boost gauge is pretty enough, but you have to manually select it, and even then it's intermittent. Sometimes the needle goes up when you floor it. Sometimes it doesn't. The other mode, to set the boost increase, is even more unintuitive as the buttons to pick the setting (Valet, Stock, Sport, Sport+, Race) look like they're greyed-out and don't respond to a press, but then the boost setting display does change. Maybe. If you've hit the Sync button to fetch the current setting. Also, why is there no Bluetooth pairing required? I was expecting to have to type in the number from the sticker on the device, but as soon as the device wakes up, it shows up in the app and can be selected. Apparently the app can remember multiple devices, not that there's anything to remember! With no security, does this mean that if somebody else's device gets within range, I can mess with it?!

From what I see (have the apps but not the device yet waiting on confirmation for new b48 engine). It scans all bluetooth device around you. It showed my tv and chromcast and neighbor bluetooth device.

They couldn't be bothered to filter the scanned device list by Bluetooth VendorID or ProductID. I'm amazed this app got through Apple's approval process at all, considering the security implications. Whatever. Mine is now set to "RACE" mode (+4psi) and I love it even more. No issues on Chevron 91. All twinges of regret about my previous AA8 gone. This is better and smoother for normal driving.
Any of you buggers hit me with a drive-by "Valet Mode" hack, though, and there's gonna be trouble! |

For those like me waiting on this for the b48 230i. After sending the last batch of pics the engineers at dinan are surprised that the sensors are not exactly like the b48 mini or the b48 x1. They need some extra pictures that I will send as soon as I can but say we might require the b58 device for our engine. The saga continue !

Another set of pictures sent. Will see what happens with those and what version of the Dinantronics we could potentially use and if one could be used for now !

Update for the b48 230i owner.
Currently the b48 mini/x1 would not work as per dinan engineer and the fact our engine are setup more like b58 than the mini/x1 b48. They are currently working on a b58 version that would be dual sensor instead of one sensor. More details to come down the pipe. So far mean we would have only one piggyback available for our b48 230i.

Functionality question.
My wife gave me the DINANTRONICS Sport for Christmas for my '15 M235i - what a fantastic lady!!! Installed in minutes... question on functionality. Should the OEM tuning be set to SPORT+ at all times to realize the performance gains?

The tuner effects all modes but in Sport/Sport+ is where you will FEEL the most benefit.

Still waiting on the fine people at Dinan for the B58 Dinantronics Sport to be out and see if it will be working on our 230 B48.

Good news for B48 owners. The Fine Folks at Dinan shipped my test unit yesterday. Beeing in canada I should (as per tracking number) get my unit early next week and might need to wait until the weekend to install and test.

Interested in this for my 2015 228xi. Is it truly plug n play and an easy install with the N20/26 engines? Don't really want to run wires etc like some of the other units.

Just received this as soon as I have some time I will be testing this out and see if once and for all this will be working on the B48 engine.

Better than the AA8? Interesting. Smoother? I have the BMS stage 1. Used it on my 3 series but didn't like the jumpiness. I wonder if the Dinan is a bit better?
