Curious if anyone has done the Dinan "S" package on a 545i. What kind of performance increases did you see? Would you do it again?

I had the Dinan S1 Package on my 2004 545. Well almost. This was before they had the Signature Packages but I had everything for the S1 Package except their suspension. I had KW Variant 2 coilovers instead.

The power gain was noticeable and the car revved pretty freely. I loved the subtle muted growl of their exhaust. It's not loud but very sporty.

If you're interested, I can refer you to my sales guy there, Eric Bateman.

Alex, how can you even comment on Dinan's performance parts when you've never even driven one?

Can you send me a PM with the contact info? Are the prices they quote on their website an installed price or do you have to pay installation on top of that?

The prices on their website are just for the parts. They also provide approximate labor hours. I'll PM you Eric's info.

a) Who told you 2 months ago I wasn't in USA and driven a 545i with 'Dinan S package" ?
b) They are normal mods you can make everywhere on Earth. Obviously if pointerman wants more he will have to choose other shops .
