Dinan S3 550 xDrive
Purchased her about 2 months ago. Having a lot of fun tweaking it up. Such a great car.
550 M Sport xDrive Dinan Stage 3 (ECU, Suspension, Intercoolers, Exhaust, etc) BMW Carbon Splitter BMW Carbon mirror covers Carbon Kidney Grills Agency Power (Seibon) Carbon Fiber Hood Agency Power (Seibon) Carbon Fiber Trunk The only other things I'm planning are the Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Diffuser and maybe doing a carbon wrap on the roof to tie the hood and trunk together.

I don't know how I feel about the carbon fiber hood, maybe it will grow on me. With the hood and trunk the roof definitely needs to be wrapped to give it a good flow.

By the way, if you've done intercoolers, you're likely at stage 4.
Stage 1: ECU Stage 2: ECU Stage 3: ECU+exhaust Stage 4: ECU+exhaust+intercoolers Stage 5: ECU+exhaust+intercoolers+air intakes Quote:

 OP, very nice ride indeed, but I'm just not feeling that hood at all, it doesn't suit a car of this class, to me it suits a JDM car better, looks too ricey for a posh 550.  That's my opinion.  Maybe you should paint-match the trunk and hood. Speaking of which, can we get a pic of the rear please? I would love to see the CSL-style trunk. I would love to see how this car performs on the drag strip.

I like the performance mods, and some carbon fiber is always a nice touch on F10. Not sure the cf hood and trunk match the F10's character, but I do respect your bold choice.

Yes dyno. I'd love to see what a stage 3 or 4 is making.
What year? |
