Correct me if I am wrong, Dinan products sell only through a few authorised BMW dealers in USA. Maybe Max got an agreement with them or something. You need to send in your throttle body for the mod.

You sure want me to list them all out ? I will need a whole roll of toilet paperfor space. Just Kidding. 
BTW, just read from Car Buyer Magazine today that Max Motorsport is now offering Dinan products. They are building a 570 hp E60 M5 right now. The big pulley & big throttle body mods seem to be interesting.

But we shouldnt be sad, as Dinan got nothing for our small engines, they mostly do parts for V8 545 or V10 M5.
The only thing that i know for us was the "hot" air induction and ECU re-programme

Glad to hear Dinan finally available in HK, but sad to hear it landed to Max :thumbsdown:

I wonder what's the feedback on their ECU re-programming ?
change to E60 6-cylinder 3.73 Differential is a easy way to increase responsiveness w/o changing the engine, but will lose lil bit of top end speed; more gasoline than normal
