I'm sure it's a great car, but I seriously can't see past that crooked S2 emblem.

Yeah pretty much the same mods I've done. Didn't pursue any of the logos though. The car is just a different car now. In the power band (about 3000 to 6500 rpm) with the nannies off - the pull is just ridiculous. Nice thing about the 310 rear wheels and our verts though - is with the top down and all that weight over the back axel you can still hook up really well. With these cars that's half the battle.

He kept referring to the car being able to stick to the road and assuming the Dinan suspension. Clearly isn't due to the Dinan springs or rear link kit though I'm sure it helps.
They are running one of the best dampers on the market and I wish they would inform the testers about this change as well. |

According to the Dinan website info for the M4 S2, the "coilovers" are just modifications to the existing struts to add height adjustability to them, as well as a set of threaded pieces to add adjustability to the rear springs. It doesn't say anything about replacing the dampers.
https://www.dinancars.com/product/f8...ries&mid=1176/ Specifically, look at the installation instructions for the coilover suspension kit: http://files.dinancars.com/webresour...b66f2e8b36.pdf -rb |

Has anyone actually done a dyno to verify these numbers? The Dinan thread went sideways pretty quickly when Dinan chose not to post unedited (i.e. not graphically rendered) dyno charts to support their power claims. I, for one, am waiting to pull the trigger on this mod, but the lack of verifiable data is holding me back. Butt dyno doesn't suffice.

Urgh. He reminds me of the folk on those disingenuous adverts.
I was waiting for him to say at the end: "Wait there's more, we'll send you the coils, the wheels and the sports tune, but then we'll also send you this in-car-fruit blender... But that's not all. We will also send you this iDrive fitness DVD... But wait! There's more, you also get these M4 Dinan Yoga Floormats. And if that wasn't enough we'll also send you the Dinan Yes Yes Hair Remover... Send no money now! You can have all this risk free for not 30 days but 60 days home trial! Yes 60 days. And to carry all these extra bonus gifts we'll even throw in this stylish carryall douchebag!" I was disappointed was looking forward to a smoothie maker |

He reminds me of Tui. She's Nick Murray's French bulldog.

FWIW I disagree with his "rubbery' assessment of the 6MT. May have been true in previous generations but it sure isn't true with this one.

As for you're other comment, my buddy just got his F82 back yesterday, DINAN stage 4 which is basically stage 3 with a crazy Turbo upgrade. So it's totally available you just have to call DINAN direct or a local DINAN dealer. If not you can call my speed shop. So before you open your mouth get you facts straight. I understand people don't go the DINAN route due to the price but the cars are absolutely insane and completely still under warranty. Throw a Jb4 tune and some downpipes on your car blow it up and see what that costs you. |
