Was thinking of gettin the dinan air intake system along with their high flow throttle body and stage 3 software.
I'd have to get these imported to here in the uk and then travel a good 600 miles to a place that does the software install.
Just wondered if anyone on here runs this set up on their 545 / 550 and if so what their opinions on it were.
Thanks in advance.

I had all the Dinan performance products on my old 545 (intake, throttle body, exhaust, stage 3 tune....). The car felt stronger/faster and the exhaust gave it more grunt although it's probably mild compared to other systems out there. I never did any dyno testing to confirm the gains though.

the 550 dinan air intake is a dual inlet set-up, similar to the e60 M5...so 2 scoops would be needed..
