BMW Tuning

 The Dinan PCU is controlled by a free Bluetooth app, available for both iOS and Android, and is home to all the potent features the device offers. Equipped with 5 different pre-set performance levels, in addition to stock, you can choose to select your desired output and enjoy more power for a true install and forget experience, or you can opt to engage in the more advanced features at your fingertips. Boost by gear customization, as an example, allows you to limit power delivery as you see fit in lower gears ensuring optimum traction and a perfect launch. Where the PCU shines however is in data acquisition and monitoring that gives insight into the vehicles overall health and makes certain your tuned vehicle is always running at peak potential. 

 Safety and reliability have been cornerstones of the Dinan brand for generations and not only does the Dinan PCU not hinder any factory safeguards or emissions controls but incorporates its own safeties as well. Going one step beyond our own internal protections, the PCU also grants the end user the ability to monitor up to 20 different engine parameters in real time via customizable in-app gauges for verification of worry-free operation. Those same parameters can also be logged/viewed in app (or exported to CSV) for further scrutiny if desired. All told, the Dinan PCU delivers more power and more features with improved reliability and drivability than ever offered before. Performance without sacrifice is alive and well!

 Extraordinary is the answer the Dinan R&D team has discovered. The B46 on 93 octane and absolutely no other modifications but the Dinan stage 1 tune clocks in with raucous gains of 87 WHP and 109 TRQ. That is nearly 1/2 another MINI's worth of power packed into that diminutive frame. What does this mean for you? Fun. Lots of it. Agility and power, together at last.

 While increases in power at this scale typically come at a cost to the engine's durability, this is typically due to improper calibrations that are simply after one goal regardless of engine health - maximum power. Dinan's calibrations are safe and reliable without sacrificing long-term reliability or performance. Dinan performance engine software is so much more than just turning up the turbo boost after all. It is a fully re-tuned engine management program that maximizes power while keeping all the MINI factory safeguards in place. In most cases Dinan software engineers also implement their own additional safety precautions in order to guarantee flawless performance that may not have been needed with factory power levels/programming. Protecting your MINI, while giving the most performance, is the definition of "Performance Without Sacrifice". To do just that, drivetrain and engine components are analyzed for strength, and then the calibration is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability. This process has been a cornerstone of Dinan software development for decades and a major reason why Dinan performance tunes are often labelled as being the smoothest, factory-like solution in the marketplace.
