GTS will not have done the break-in service yet either, so it will be there for appetizers.

Stage 1 to Stage 4

Does Dinan offer any discounts if previous mods have already been installed? (Stage 1 ECU and Cat-back exhaust)

And how long did they need the car to make the upgrades? I'm thinking about going to stage 4 here in a year or so.

That's a good question. I have every mod that would make my car have the S1 package, except the tune box. When I talked to a Dinan rep on the phone, he said that stuff is usually done all at once. I have a Dinan badge but, if I bought the stage 2 box, I'm not sure they would give me the S1 under hood badge or any discounts. I believe the discounts are only if you buy the whole package at once.

I would like to go with the stage 2, but I'm not sure, since I still want an M2. It seems like if i went that far with with M235i, then I don't know if it would be worth turning back after spending so much money.

Dinan never discounts. If you have a Stage tuned IE: Stage 1, and you want to up that to another stage, you pay the difference in price.

Example: If stage 1 is 1,000, and stage 2 is 1,500, you would pay 500.

They used to offer a 10% twice a year but have stopped doing that for about 3 years now.

With MAP (minimum advertised pricing) pricing along with our growing distribution network we do not typically offer discounts at the factory level. We leave that to the dealers in the field. We do not want to compete with our distribution in the field after all, defeats the point of having them.

What Bryan said is said is true and you would just pay the difference in stages. We would not retroactively offer the 10% signature/power package discount after the fact. In fact that particular discount is only applied when purchased through and installed at a dealer. Its a unique tool the dealers have. Plenty of different ways to skin a cat though so we would always encourage you to reach out to your local dealer and have that conversation. Who knows what they may offer.

In regards to a 'true' sale... Up until this most recent black Friday weekend we hadn't had a sale since October, 2014. Again, with the emphasis on distribution, sales tend to create madness especially when you enforce a MAP policy. This year we did the experiment of having a MAP holiday and it went relatively smoothly but I wouldn't anticipate the ever revolving sale every other month like it was in years past as you simply become a slave to sales.
