2011 E92 Mineral White with Dinan Upgrades

michaelt · 08-10-2011, 10:10 PM

Hello Forum members,

I want to show this forum my recently arrived 2011 E92 Mineral White M3 that my local Dinan dealer just upgraded with 400 miles on it. I just traded in a 2009 E92 Interlagos Blue for this, so I have had experience with this car. Both were Manual 6 speeds. I have to thank everyone that has posted previously on this forum as it has helped me make decisions to get to this point.
I hope my post helps others in their decisions. I must say I picked it up today after these upgrades and it really felt like a different car, even though I am still in break in and can't take it over 4500 RPM's. I can only imagine what it will be like when I can in a week or so after the service. It sounds and feels totally different. Dinan all the way.
I will also say on my way home a de badged black 1M gave me a major thumbs up and we ended up conversing for a while with rolled down windows about how much we enjoy our cars. A good sign.
Here it is:
Dinan Exhaust with black tips
Dinan Stage 1 computer upgrade
Dinan Pulley

BMW Carbon Fiber rear deck spoiler
BMW Front Carbon Fiber Splitters
BMW Carbon Fiber Side Mirrors'
BMW Front Grill replacement kidneys Black/ no chrome

All done by my dealer and under warranty.

Hope this is helpful and enjoy.

Very nice!

NYCMCBM3 · 08-11-2011, 11:51 AM

now you need to do the side grilles

michaelt · 08-11-2011, 12:13 PM

It's funny but I think with the mineral white that little bit of chrome works. Still debating it.

mmm def · 08-11-2011, 02:22 PM

Also for those that care about this nuance of esthetics, I feel the competition package wheels work well with the chromed side grills (gills)
Any one agree?

I want the air intake but what about passing inspection in NY?

michaelt · 08-16-2011, 10:00 PM

Anyone knowledgeable about the Dinan air intake upgrade and inspections?
It seems that wouldn't affect an inspection, unless it involved a computer change to the exhaust emissions?

I'm going through the same debate - I keep flip flopping between blacked out grills (and sides) vs. leaving a little bit of chrome in there.

On most other colours blacked out is the way to go, not sure with MW.
