Whenever Dinan tuner pops-up online in a new project, especially if it is about a BMW M2, it has got to be something special, especially from what we have seen so far: powerful M2s with impressive upgrades under the hood.

Digital Trends auto magazine has recently had the chance of driving such a powerful model fine-tuned by Dinan, which is called the M2 S2, reffering to the car`s upgrade program under the hood. It also comes with impressive mechanics and characteristics that make the M2 a genuine racer.

According to Dan McNiff, who was interviewed by Digital Trends, the new model handles extremely well and is well-balanced while being on the road at high-speed. He also praised the car`s aerodynamics, stating:

“In stock trim the M2 is a well-rounded vehicle. It harkens back to the E36/E46 M3 days where the car was about balance in power and handling with a footprint that let nimbleness be a major contributing factor. Whereas most new cars have simply gotten bigger, softer, and try to compensate with more output, the M2 bucks that trend. We wanted to really emphasize what sets the M2 apart as a driver’s car while maintaining that overall sense of a well-rounded vehicle that is not simply all about a lot of power or creature comforts.”

As for the car`s main highlight under the hood, the BMW M2 Coupe by Dinan comes with an ECU remapping, which is considered the most important part of the car`s core. James Leong, also CEO at Dinan, has explained the importance of the new power kit:

“The backbone of any tuned setup is the engine tune itself, which allows optimization of boost, air, fuel, and lambda targets among other variables. The compressor wheel inside the turbocharger is increased in size allowing around 30 percent greater flow, thus enabling additional boost pressures at higher engine speeds while retaining efficiency. These are rebuilt factory turbos that are machined to Dinan specifications, along with an upgraded thrust system to ensure reliable and prolonged life.”

Thanks to the new power stage, the car`s engine is now capable of outputting an impressive 446 horsepower and 458 lb-ft of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in less the standard figures. Unfortunately, the tuner has not revealed any details on that. Not just yet!

The post This Is Dinan`s M2 S2 with Impressive Power and Torque appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

We have seen many projects by Dinan German tuner carried out on different BMW products and all we can say of when thinking of them, is that they all lead to the same idea: raw power and sheer performance.

Recently, the owner of this gorgeous 2003 E46 BMW M3 wanted to make the model more powerful and add a real distinctive engine soundtrack, and took his ride to Dinan`s shop for some serious modifications under the hood.

So the engineers had to add what they like to call their special DINAN S2 power upgrade, which significantly increases the car`s S54 engine with around 30 horsepower. Is it much, is it less? It is up to you to decide that.

Even so, the 13-minute video created by DINAN tuner itself, thoroughly highlights all the details on the new power upgrade, including all the modifications added to raise its boost.

Speaking about modifications, the E46 BMW M3 is now packing a new ECU Remapping, brand-new individual throttle bodies, new muffler and new air box, which make the engine extremely loud and increase the car`s power at the same time.

Mechanically, the E46 BMW M3 seen here in the video is also looking much lower, thanks to the new overhauled suspension system, new shocks absorbers, springs and camber plates and sway bars, all contributing to the new looks and increase aggressive stance.

But since words are useless and this point and you my friend are a real BMW petrol head, just push the play button and take a look at the car`s DINAN 2 power package!

The post E46 BMW M3 Is Mighty Powerful with the New Power Kit from Dinan appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

Dinan is perhaps one of the most dedicated tuners in delivering outstanding power kits to BMW`s most appreciated models, and the M3 and M4 is amongst those to receive such a special treatment.

We are looking here at the fitting of the tuner`s custom power kit on both M3 and M4 that come with the Competition Package.

This means that aftermarket specialists have had to add some upgraded mechanics in order to make both models more powerful than the stock powers.

To cope with the new power, the M3 and M4 were fitted with new cold air intake, heat exchanger as well as custom exhaust system. The exhaust system alone allows an extra of 10 horsepower and 20 lb.ft of torque without fitting any other aftermarket mechanicals.

Also, Dinan have also added their special and custom-built cooler, which is 40 mm thick and comes with a 16 mm increase over the stock one. With the new cooling system, the efficiency is increased while the intake air is cooled down, all indicating the power boost.

So we have two power configurations – the BMW M3 and M4 with Stage 3 kit without the Competition Package, which offers a good 548 horsepower and 744 Nm of torque, while with the Competition Package and Dinan`s Stage 3 kit, the models can reach a total of 573 horsepower and 743 Nm of torque.

Dinan, under the direct supervision of CEO Steve Dinan, has been customizing cars for more than 20 years, with the tuner developing a special taste for BMW models in the last decade, and managing to transform each model into impressive rides.

The California-based tuner Dinan has been customizing BMW models for decades, which clearly indicates that it is a master when dealing with fancy customers that want extreme and challenging tuning projects, especially if it involves old and iconic models.

This gorgeous 1999 E36 BMW M3 customized by Dinan is looking for a new owner, and what is most impressing about it is that it is in a pristine condition, one not recognizing the plethora of customizations that is coming with.

The Dinan E36 M3 is available for sale at $26,900 and has just 47,000 miles on board. The list of upgrades however, should raise the car`s price, but unfortunately, this is not a wanted model, which automatically makes it hard to sell.

The modifications start from outside, the E36 M3 coming with a gorgeous Black Schwartz Metallic paint job, Michelin Plot Sport rubbers and Black Vader seats on the inside.

Mechanically, the 1999 E36 BMW M3 packs the Dinan / Vortec supercharger, along with Dinan stage 3 engine software, Dinan cold-air intake, exhaust strut tower braces and a few more with that. We are not sure about the output, but it should be just ok to take it for a short drive outside town.

So, in case you are an M3 lover and dig the old and genuine model, then you should go for it; after all, the price is a bargain if you consider the pristine condition and the mods added by no other than Dinan tuner!

BMW owners and not only, usually install a new intake system on their rides to add up a power boost or just for show, but as technology progresses in the tuning market as well, the taste for the latest cold air intake system goes beyond increase performance.

Nowadays, BMW or other supercars owners love to show off their customized rides by exposing them to different shows or simply on the streets, and want to standout from the crowd with a wild engine roar.

Well, this is also the case of the owner of this BMW M4 Convertible all wrapped in the Alpine White exterior color, who wanted his ride to be fitted with Dinan`s cold air intake system built from carbon fiber.

With the new system, the intake sound is pretty impressive, and on top of that, he also got a slight power boost of around 14 horsepower and 28 Nm of torque. It isn`t much but it`s there to keep.

Aside the new Dinan cold air intake, the technicians from European Auto Source have also added some other parts, including the Dinan exhaust system, the RKP carbon fiber trunk spoiler, and M Performance goodies at the front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts or mirror covers.

The photo gallery below released by EAS better explains the process of fitting the new Dinan cold air intake system.

The BMW M5 model has been recently upgraded by the famous Dinan tuning company, with the founder Steve Dinan himself to explain his passion about BMW and about his latest project, called the BMW S1 M5.

The BMW S1 M5 project involves some heavy modifications carried out by Dinan at the sports car`s performance, talking here about 675 horsepower and 644 kb-ft of torque.

As Steve Dinan explains, the power boost is totally achieved due to the performance parts installed by the tuning company, meaning a carbon fiber cold air intake, free flow exhaust system, as well as the new DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner, which helps the engine output such a huge power.

More than that, the power boost is also given by the negative camber front control arms, along with lightweight tubular Anti-Roll bars and the High Performance Adjustable Coil-over System that provides the M5 with a decreased body roll and more aggressive stance.
