CARBON FIBER COLD AIR INTAKE 135i / 335i

CF Cold Air Intkae 135i / 335i

As boost is increased through the use of performance software, the single factory intake becomes restrictive and the engine is lacking the air it needs to make maximum power. Our cold air intake force feeds the 3 liter turbocharged inline 6 with greater volumes of cool, oxygen rich air for substantial power gains by utilizing our secondary carbon fiber intake. The system is so effective that the carbon fiber inlet air temperature is a full 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the incoming air from the stock inlet. Due to the increased airflow from our intake, the power-curve is extended into the higher RPM’s for a noticeable change. The system is a direct replacement for the factory air box lid, employing a hand-crafted carbon fiber unit that also includes a secondary carbon fiber intake tube that captures cool air from the lower grill and includes the shielding for the conical filter to insulate it from power robbing engine compartment heat.

PLEASE NOTE: As these intakes are made of hand-crafted carbon fiber, it is going to take a few months to get production ramped up. So please expect back orders for the first couple of months.

Horsepower is increased by +14 Hp @ 6000 rpm and Torque is increased by +16ft-lbs @ 3400 rpm with Dinan Stage 3 Software, DINAN Intercooler and Free Flow Exhaust.*

Dinan Introduces E9x M3 4.6L Stroker Motor

 

For those seeking the ultimate high performance driving experience, Dinan has once again redefined M3 performance with a bored and stroked 4.6 liter version of BMW’s V-8 engine. The engine produces 502 horsepower along with increased torque of 384 lb-ft at 5600 rpm. As incredible as BMW’s V-8 is in stock form, just imagine the acceleration that results from a maximum gain of 105 horsepower @ 6400 rpm and a maximum gain of 96 lb-ft torque @ 5000 rpm*! Equally impressive is the fact that all of this performance is available without sacrificing BMW-like drivability or the peace of mind that comes from matching new car warranty coverage for up to 4 years or 50,000 miles.
Engine tested using 93 octane with High Flow Intake, Throttle Bodies, 16% underdrive pulley and Free Flow
Mufflers.*
For further details, please select E90/92/93 M3 and then engine tuning.

Dinan Offers Lightweight Forged Wheels in Black.

 

 

Dinan's beautiful 19" spread-forged performance wheels are some of the lightest and strongest on the market at a mere 20 lbs. each. Every surface of the forged wheels is matched, eliminating unnecessary material. Not only do they reduce unsprung weight by a total of 51 lbs (on most BMW models) for superior handling but they also accommodate larger tires for maximum grip and reduction of understeer by bringing the front and rear tire sizes closer together.

 


 

 

Attention 335 Convertible Owners!

High Performance Springs for Z4 Based M Roadster and Coupe Models!

 

Performance tuned springs have been designed to work in harmony with the stock struts and shocks, providing superior handling through increased grip and reduction of body roll, while maintaining a nicely dampened ride. The 1/2"  lower ride height gives the cars a tastefully enhanced performance look as well as improving suspension geometry, reducing understeer.

The springs are being offered for a limited time at 50% off the suggested retail price of $440.00 for the set!
