You guys are hilarious. I'm glad I'm not married and dont have to deal with the whole wife issue. This car is all the high maintenance I need!
Let me know how you like that Dinan Stage 2. I've been pondering it for a while myself. They can get the whole thing done in a day?!
The exhaust doesnt become quad does it?

My Ride: 2005 545i Dinan S Package
Got my baby yesterday. All I can say is WOW. It feels like a different car. The sound is just right, not too loud, perfect growl. Acceleration is much much smoother. Shifting feels much smoother also. might be placebo, but she does feel faster. She wants to gO!
I have to go back in tomorrow for the Dinan pedals. They didn't have any in stock. I thought I would have my Dinan 5 badge right away, but they send out for those, will be two or so weeks before I have them.
She's in for an alignment and oil change at the dealer today. Detailing tomorrow. I was hoping to get my rims refinished, but can't find anyone that can have them dont before Saturday

Anyone who knows anything about tuning is that legit HP gains at peak are very tough to come by, and generally very expensive. There are a lot of crap products out there claiming such gains with some tricked out dyno results to "prove" it. We just had a big blow up over this on one of the 911 sites. Suffice to say the one performance product could not deliver what they claimed in independent tests, and the company making the product sent more than one example of product to ensure nothing was defective. Bottom line is legit HP gains do not come cheaply, and I think most can put faith in Dinan doing quality work and know that the gains you get are not some crafty marketing and bogus dyno shenanigans.
