The 3rd Generation MINI carries on the tradition of its predecessors and offers its owners an enjoyable driving experience via the virtue of being compact and nimble. However, stock levels of power are pedestrian for those enamored with maximum performance. This is especially true when compared to its BMW siblings that Dinan has tweaked and improved for decades. With the B46/B48 powerplant shared between both marques it begs the question - what would the MINI platform be like with an extra 50HP or even 75HP to go along with its already gratifying handling characteristics? Extraordinary is the answer the Dinan R&D team has discovered. The B46 on 91 octane and absolutely no other modifications but the Dinan+ tune clocks in with raucous gains of 70 WHP and 89 TRQ. That is nearly 1/2 another MINI's worth of power packed into that diminutive frame. Not just any power either, factory matching warranted power that gives you piece of mind. 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.

Features:

  • More Power: Max gains of 70 WHP / 89 lb-ft of torque over stock with 91 octane on ‘S’ models. Consult the performance charts for additional data on other vehicle variants.
  • Dinan + performance software matches the factory new car warranty (4year / 50,000 mi) and is the warranty protection commonly associated with the Dinan brand.
  • No required parts. Install on a stock car and receive the full power gains.
  • Full map rescaling for drivability from idle to wide open throttle and everywhere in between.
  • Optimized boost control, cam phasing, fueling, airflow and temperature controls for maximum power output that is also safe and reliable.
  • Top speed governor (VMAX) removed.
  • Aggressive sport mode cooling added for optimum track effectiveness.
  • Downshift Auto-Blip added for DSC off / Sport Mode conditions.
  • Upgradeable from DINANTRONICS Elite via trade-in program. Consult B46/B48 FAQ below for details.
  • Retains all MINI factory engine safeguards and adds additional safety protections such as the stationary rev limiter being set to 4000 RPM and implementation of per gear torque limits.
  • Sport gauges rescaled to reflect higher than stock power output.
  • Stock JCW pops and bangs settings retained (JCW), or implemented (S), depending on application.

DME UNLOCK & FLASH NOTICE / HOW TO PURCHASE


MINI B46/B48 DME's must be unlocked and bench flashed by Dinan. While dealer / retail unlock and flashing tools are in development and will be available in the future, at present, two options are available:


OPTION 1: Visit a Dinan Dealer and purchase the Dinan Flash Software . They will remove and mail the DME to Dinan. We'll unlock the DME, flash the software and ship it back. They'll reinstall the DME.


OPTION 2: Purchase the tune. Send us your DME. We’ll unlock it, install Dinan software, and ship it back. The unlock process is free. Ground shipping to the continental USA is free. Follow the steps below if this is the course you wish to pursue.


  1. Purchase the tune by contacting Dinan via phone at 1-800-341-5480.
  2. Fill out the unlock form and select BMW under the unlock type.
  3. Mail your DME to Dinan, 4800 U.S. Hwy 280 W, Opelika, AL 36801, USA, and include the last 7 of your VIN on the outside of the box along with a copy of the unlock form inside the box.


At no time during the unlocking process is the DME opened or physically modified. If the DME is flashed back to stock, it will need to be unlocked again. Also, vehicle manufacturers issue many DME part numbers and revisions throughout their vehicle lineup. As such, some DMEs may be temporarily unavailable as new parts and/or revisions are released.


CODE CLEARING: Customers doing the DME removal/install process themselves should be aware that in the case a fault code occurs, having the ability to read and erase fault codes is crucial. Failure to be able to perform this task may result in a vehicle that is inoperable. Dinan will not cover any expenses related to not being able to clear codes (towing, equipment rental, etc.).

COMPATABILITY NOTICE


BOX CODES: The MINI B46/B48 engine and its multitude of variants account for numerous unique box codes across various platforms. While Dinan has created files for many of these permutations, there is a chance you may have a box code that we have not seen. If this happens to be the case we will need to create a file for your vehicle. This process could add up to 7 days to the bench flash process although in most cases it will be turned around within 2 business days.


Pre-LCI/LCI: Current compatability of the B46/B48 engine software is limited to Pre-LCI vehicles (MY 2019 and prior). If you own an LCI MINI and are interested in helping Dinan test compatibilty with your vehicle please reach out to [email protected]. Please note it would require the vehicle and/or the DME to be sent to Dinan in Opelika, Alabama.
