Some pics of the Dinan event at Autowest BMW



Steve Dinan





Awesome GT3-RS













~ 700 HP Dinan Stroker M5 (this thing is AMAZINGLY FAST!)


















Our 360 Forged CF5ive display wheel



Modulare wheel rack





Full Dinan package E92





Steve released that Dinan is going to be introducing a Stroker motor for the V8 E92 M3. It should produce ~ 500HP

Got a good chance to see and talk to Steve about the products and the manufacturing process.

Dinan definitely makes top notch stuff with the highest quality control and warranty available.

Enjoy the pics!

I took away the feeling that Dinan is a strong engineering company. The presentation itself needed to be more polished. The guy who kicked off the meeting was reading from his notes and the ambient noise from everybody talking in the back made it difficult to hear the questions during Q&A.

A decent turnout too, probably 80-100 people?

Yeah that was Pete Sargent, aftersales manager at Autowest. He was totally reading off the sheet!

I was impressed by their quality of manufacturing

You would think they might want to offer up something of a 1-time discount if you buy now type thing... but nope. Nothing. They have a 15% off sale on their website (which they mentioned), but otherwise, no discounts. Shame too, if they'd offered up something enticing enough, I would have dropped a few $$$ that night.
