I don’t think it’s accurate at all given the stats, but it’s really the only objective data that I have. I also have gotten a few compliments at stoplights and such – for example, the other night a girl asked me to roll down my window at a stoplight to tell me I had an awesome car.Īcceleration – I used the Dynolicious Utility on my iPhone to compare the cars. I do get many more looks from other guys, though. I don’t think my girlfriend would have even noticed it was a new car if I didn’t tell her. I’m pretty sure most people notice zero difference between the cars. Also, the leather in the M3 is a very different leather and I much prefer it. Looks/feel – The Dinan 3 was sleeker (only the Dinan badge even hinted toward what it could do), but I prefer the sports car / performance car look of the M3 with the hood scoops, side vent, and other slight features. I’m not sure what the proper term is, but the M3 stays glued to the road and inspires much more confidence. The M3 recovers instantly when it hits a bump and there is no sliding or feeling of “bounce”. I would also feel the suspension give and it would take a second to recover. I remember in the Dinan 3 when I’d hit a bump in the road, I’d lose traction and in some cases slide a bit. The M3 absolutely destroys the Dinan 3 in cornering (which is much crisper in the M3) and suspension. The Dinan 3 was a stock 335i as far as suspension components go and it still had the run flat tires. Handling/Suspension – We’ll get this one out of the way first. M3 mods: BMW Performance Aluminum Pedals (I hate stock rubber pedals).

Also, for reference, both cars were black / black with aluminum trim (though the M3s black is slightly more blue and the M3s aluminum trim seems higher quality and less shiny).ģ35i mods (I paid right at $10k for the parts plus labor): Dinan CAI, Dinan Intercooler, Dinan Pedals, Dinan Stage 3 Software, and Dinan Oil Cooler. Both cars were loaded with virtually every option available, so this should be an even comparison. not to low just enough in my opĪlmost two months ago, I traded in my 2009 Dinan Stage 3 335i Coupe for a 2011 DCT ZCP M3 Coupe. i also have the Dinan stage 1 susp with camber plates and i felt like the car is more comfortable but yet handles better and the 1/2 drop looks great. i did the diff last and i love it.ĭon't get me wrong the car is great stock but i love it that much more with the few mods i did. it has a nice deep tone below 4k then it gets a high pitched exotic tone above 5k till redline. then when i added the midpipe it just made things that much better and it is one of the best sounding mufflers i have ever heard. it is not much of a power gain like others out there but i really liked how it made the car run compared to the stock tune.

#08 M3 DINAN DCT TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE#

i did just the software first bc my friend had it on his and i really liked how much better it made the car run, especially at take off and the 1-2 shift. now with the extra power from the midpipe and 8600 redline from the Dinan software and the diff the car is a blast in the twisties and everywhere really. i also did the Dinan diff bc i felt the stock gears were to long for the type of driving i did. i believe the stats are 23hp and 21tq gain. i added the Dinan midpipe and it really gave it a nice bump in tq below 5k. If you want some more tq these two mods i did really helped. Send a deposit and I will stop driving until pick-up.Congrats on your new ride and thanks for the write up.
