: Get the Jim Conforti chip(shark). Dinan only remaps the full throttle settings. With the e motor you should see a noticable difference.

I have a Dinan chip (Bavauto). It's definetly not true that only the full throttle settings are remapped. Midrange is what is improved the most. Another difference is off throttle, when you take your foot off the accellerator compression braking is almost eliminated. This smoothes out you driving quite a bit. Exhuast not is changed too. It is one of the few mods where you really get what they say. Compare the charts all are within about 1 hp. 1hp is not a big difference so go with the one that is best for your driving style. That statement must have deen made by a Conforti salesman.
