My Ride: On order for November Delivery - 550 !!!! - Currently own 1999 E39 540, sport pkg, premium sound pkg, black on black. Previous owner of 2000 M Coupe, 1996 328is, 1984 633csi, 1982 528e, and wifed owned 1999 528 touring and 2002 525 touring. Looking at buying 545 or 550 in fall of 2005.
I am extremely happy to have found this forum. Just wondering if anyone has done any Dinan mods to previous generation 5 series (E39), and if so, what mods and were you happy or not with the performance/cost?
I am currently pondering a 2005 545 (or 550 if possible) vs. a 2005 M5 towards the end of the year when my current lease expires. The question is really, is it a cost effective alternative to spending upwards of $90k on M5.
So just looking for anyone with good or bad experiences with Dinan products. Thanks in advace for your help.

Welcome aboard ManyBMWs.
Dinan has not done anything for E60 as yet.

I just found another thread on this subject on this site, it seems there is mostly negative feedback on Dinan, and a little bit of positive.

If you are going for m5, don't forget your name will be way below in the waiting list, probably u will get it in 2 yrs time

Possibly, although in my experience people often put their names on waiting lists for these rare cars and then end up not buying the car. The dealers then put the car on the showroom floor with a $10k mark up, which is often negotiated down or away if the car doesn't sell. At least that's been my experience here in Southern California.

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
What's up with Dinan, i see on their website they don't have anything for the 745i
meaning they haven't been developing anything for the N62B44 4.4 V8 since 9/2001?.
It would've saved 'em some time in putting out toys for the 545i

I have already checked out their site. How soon? I can't wait!
Like i said, they should've had something out for the 02 745i so it would've sped up the process for the 545i.
