FWIW, I have the M240i w/ the Dinan Stage 1 Elite.
Plan to skip the exhaust (would not mind adding the intake)-car is plenty loud enough under accelerations, but will be investigating the Stage 3 (minus the Exhaust) when it becomes available. I'd like to "cherry pick" my upgrades, but stay w/ Dinan. If I have to get the exhaust to get the Stage 3 I will, but at this point, I'll pass.
The LSD is expensive, but for my type of driving unnecessary. I don't track, and never WOT from a dead stop. 1/2 throttle rockets me away from traffic at the light. When rolling along, heavier throttle allows me to blow by slower traffic on interstates or highways. Pure fun and enjoyment. Stage 3 will provide the same enjoyment w/ less throttle. Plus having it gives me the satisfaction of knowing I can run with and likely beat the true "M" cars (and plenty of other sport/muscle cars).
