No problem. Most likely I will get one or the other when my car arrives to the states. My local dealer installs them and it doesn't void the warranty.

The Sport is $299 & the Elite is $899

I have the Dinan Sport on my F60 S All4 and love it!

Easy to install/remove, and really does make a good upgrade for the $$$

Had the Sport in my F56 for 6 months and now Elite for 2 weeks. If you just care about higher boost and the convenience of changing Boost level - Sport. If you going after usable Torque - Elite. Power comes earlier, smoother and predictable.

I am still torn between the two... You dealer installs them both? What do I ask for specifically?

Can someone post links to both Sport and Elite tunes?

Thanks!

I've got the sport on my F60. Just as effective as it was on my F56.

I run it in +2 psi mode...just enough for some additional punch. I found the higher modes were too jumpy general driving around town.

Referring to the DINANTRONICS products, correct?

SPORT is $299 and ELITE is $899?

Boost levels can be adjusting a smartphone, the app communicating over Bluetooth?

Correct on both accounts. I've got the Dinantronics Sport tuner ($299) and you can easily adjust the unit via an iOS or Android app.

Not sure if both fit the SE model


Does your dealer sell both?

There is no way to select a 2018 JCW Countryman? Is the device not yet available?

May have to snag that. For 300 bucks seems like a no brainer.

I’d love to see an installation video for the Sport if anybody has come across one. I have been hunting for one, but no joy.
