Yeah, very nice write up Roleez. I just happened to see their ad for all their cars that are on sale in the latest edition of Roundel. The 545 has 34K miles, with over $21K of upgrades and they're asking $59,999. I was thinking I'd ask them if they would part out the brakes....

ECF - Aren't you their poster child? You should be right there with Roleez. Maybe he'll give you the M5 since the M3 is taken...

Apparently I'm their STEP-poster child cause I've been volunteering my car for their testing a while back and never got a call.... Probably cause they already had their own 545...

But while she's been gone, Steve Dinan threw in some fun for me ... I got to take home (as a loaner) Steve Dinan's own Dinan3 330i manual complete with all the Dinan mods: ram air intake, throttle body, suspension, exhaust, brakes, forged 19" rims with Michelin PS2 rubber, and tower brace.

WOW! That's without a doubt one gorgeous and cool looking wheel and big brake kit; if I say so myself!! Ha ha. And yes, definitely share and echo similar sentiments regarding Dinan's total setup and the resulting overall road feel & driveability.

They definitely up the ante, performance speaking, yet gave up little, if any, in terms of overall civility or refinement whatsoever. I'm in constant amazement everytime I'm piloting my ride. Really content to have gone the Dinan mod route and you will similarly I'm sure! ENJOY & BEST REGARDS
