3) Exhaust + fabrication to utilize stock tips
4) Suspension upgrade

all installed during 2days for $13,022 (this includes the 15% off from Dinan). Ultimate question, especially to those with any of the upgrades...Is it a good deal and is it worth it? I would also look at paying for some new wheels/tires as well (also an added expense of $4k).

I have never had the pleasure of having Dinan upgrades and have always known that they are the "Gold" standard of aftermarket parts for BMW. I am very on edge to get these upgrades.
If you're getting the Dinan upgrade in Northern Virginia I have to highly recommend RRT Racing in Sterling! They did excellent work on both of our BMW's and they give discounts for BMW Club Members!

I didn't go with the Stage4 setup, because of the stress on the stock turbos. I honestly can say the Stage2 upgrade is enough to satisfy any BMW enthusiast!

Good luck, and enjoy.....
