Should have my Dinan stage 4 setup installed in about 3 weeks. I can't wait.

Now as far as cost is concerned, only the piggyback is far more expensive than competitors. The bolt-ons are similar to anything else on the market. With that high price, piece of mind is obtained. No other tuning company offers a factory matching warranty on its ECU tunes and hardware. Not having to worry about out-of-pocket costs on a 400 whp M235 is awesome. There's no need to email Terry pertaining to any issues and receiving a response asking the user to perform data logs. Some of us just don't need this kind of automotive stress in our lives.

Beautiful build.....too bad it literally cost an arm and a leg and still doesn't put down as much power as other tunes for half the price
But good on' em for choosing quality parts |

Generally, Camber plates are great for track use when you're hammering every corner, but not necessarily needed if you're not tracking the car. This may just be a very fast street car. |

So close to achieving your DINAN badge! Keep at it.
In all seriousness, the only items that added power were the turbo and tune. Everything else helps keep air moving, but it's not doing much on the power end. |

How much we looking at in terms of labor to get all of these done? I often think about getting a used m235i for the purpose of going full Dinan S package on it.

Funny I have the same color M235ix and have the same Dinan kit on my car. I must say it is a massive difference. Completely changes the car in terms of performance. In shitty conditions I got a 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds and the car feels like it has gotten faster as the tune self adjusted. The only thing that dinan doesn't tell you is the turbo install is a ton harder on the xdrive cars. Took two days to install and was a nightmare. Was worth it in the end. P.S. does anyone have suggestions on the Dinan badge, I still havent put mine on I was going to replace the trunk xDrive badge but the finish doesnt match. Any Suggestions.

I have all of my stickers in my trunk except for my small fabspeed sticker at the very bottom of the rear window. You can only see it when you open the trunk or look down into the gap between the window and the trunk. I prefer a more subtle look. I do like the placement of this sticker over the headlight though. I'm considering doing that whenever I get the BM3 installed. Idk.

According to Dinan, the camper plates DO NOT work on the xDrive cars, I dont know why. They were not part of my kit and my car is an xDrive.

To the OP--- Enjoy the car to its fullest. The M235i Stage 4 and M2 Stage 4 have been my favorite cars to tool around with since I have been at Dinan. M2 getting the edge--- namely for sound, but both have the characteristics of just being a fun car that's fun to throw around corners and straightaways alike. They really do harken back to what BMW used to be, and is known for, closer then anything else in recent memory (1M aside). |

how much MPG loss are you noticing after 6 months? I've been considering a DINAN package myself, but this car already chugs fuel around town (because I don't drive it nicely - ), and it has a gastank the size of a thimble.

Dinan $1235 VRSF 7" $449 Just as a comparison. You are paying for the warranty, that is the price difference. Dinan is very expensive compared to its competition due to this very reason.
