I purchased what was advertised as a new Dinan Throttle Body form a seller off Ebay. It has the Dinan markings on the inner flap, but what has thrown me is it has the BWM markings and part numbers listed on the outter plastic housing as shown below. For those who have purchased the throttle body, can you recall if this is how it came. I'm feeling a little leary of this one!

The Dinan throttle body is just a bored out OEM BMW throttle body with a Dinan throttle plate.

Keep in mind that you are paying for the OEM throttle body, not just the work Dinan has done to it.
