A racing stripe would make more difference. Don't waste your money.

I was probably going to buy it off Dinan's website, the only authorized Dinan dealer in Vermont is an almost 2 hour drive from my house

Dinan is tested and trusted...it gives gains and also works well with other bolt ons like exhaust and Intakes. I liked my chip and I noticed a difference even with my automatic transmission. I have had it so long I don't notice it now but I have no regrets

Dinan tune is very very conservative. It's a hefty price to pay for small numbers. You will benifit from a BMWCONNECT or MARKD chip alot more if your looking for true power increase and reliability in one package. expect to pay top dollar for MARKD chip as he has been around and selling for along time. The only reason my prices are low is because im new to selling not new to tuning. After June first my prices will be going up

You can always give it a try....especially for a low price. Dinan is conservative...as been mentioned before a lot of their stuff is dicontinued for the 318ti so it may not be a bad idea to give something new a try. I can just vouch for dinan...i got my engine and the automatic transmission chip for half off at a local dinan dealer because it was on a ridiculous sale...but I liked it.
