2. If you had the BMW PPK2, you will lose the engine overrun pops. The car still makes nice pops and burbles, but it's not as often or loud as PPK2. A small price to pay for such a huge increase in the driving experience.
3. The power delivery is smooth. It feels just like the factory.
4. Throttle response has noticeably increased
Other than that, there's not much else to say. It's a great tune! I'm sure there are other things being done behind the scenes, but that's the other part I'm paying for - the R&D, warranty, and knowledge that the stock parts are capable of handling it.
How's it compare to MHD or JB4? Couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is that I'm very happy with it, and have always wanted a Dinan tune. If you've ever wanted one, now's no better time. The offer expires at the end of February.
The total cost out the door was $883.45:
Tune: $669
Labor: $145
Shop fee: $14.50
+ Taxes
I had no choice but to go to a BMW dealer near me and pay those prices, so if you want it done cheaper, I'd recommend an independent shop.

Just had mine done today. Dealership wanted around that much for labor but the Dinan website said that install would take 0.5 hours so they adjusted and the cost came down to ~$66.
Are the pops and crackles there in normal mode or only sport mode? I seem to have none. Car is running on stock exhaust.
Thanks
