Dinan Stage 4 installed

BarryB · 04-16-2016, 09:33 AM

OMG I am in love. Had the car back now for 2 days and all I can say is WOW. The car pulls like a freight train and doesn't let up until red line. The biggest difference besides over all increase in hp/tq that you feel from the second you start advancing the throttle, is the power doesn't drop off like the stock tune and even the stage 2 which I had before. 100% satisfied and can't stop smiling. I have a nice sleeper now (except for the Dinan Badge.......)

F80_M · 04-16-2016, 10:51 AM

Any videos?

Luminous · 04-16-2016, 10:52 AM

Congrats!!! Now post some time slips

BarryB · 04-16-2016, 11:07 AM

No vids. Here's a pic showing the large intercooler.
This is my DD. I have a dedicated track car ( and some higher hp M cars) so not planning on dragging or tracking her. Just having fun with the seat of the pants feeling this mod gives (as others can) but with peace of mind.

For reference :-)

Nice! I want to go stage 4, but thinking stage 3 will be safer. I'm slowly working my way there. Down the road I'll get the intercooler, then go stage 3 first.

2'er is the most fun to drive, hence the DD (and cost about 1/3 of the 30Jahre). Grunt and speed go the the M5. I did get a double take with a new M6 today when I hung on his tail for a bit :-)

F80_M · 04-17-2016, 10:08 AM

Pure sleeper love it!

Yea I was talking Msrp (what I paid) plus tax and lic.
Thinking wider wheels/tires. Trying to keep 18's for the comfort. Bigger brakes probably not unless this displaces my track car one day. The brakes are decent but took me a while to get used to the initial travel in the pedal compared to my other cars.....
I do like the simple Mperf cosmetics and that's it. Keeping it stock'ish looking.

Looks Awesome!
Thx

Awesome Barry on the stage 4. I'm sure it's wicked!

bryan_G01 · 04-17-2016, 07:32 PM

I'm trying to find an ECU flash that will work with Dinan to remove speed limiter before going stage 4.

Second person I know with it in the 235.
You now need a brake upgrade!

Lioz · 04-19-2016, 09:28 PM

How much hp is the stage 4 make?

BarryB · 04-19-2016, 09:31 PM

393 whp. I think Dinan publishes 450 or something like that at the crank (and don't want to get into the Dyno discussion .....)
