For a long time i have racked my brain trying to thing, if there is anything to the Dinan badging.
Does it add value to the car?
Does it add prestige?
If i take almost all the Dinan parts off the car can i still call it a dinan anything.
Many people ask me whats a DINAN?
I say its an 850I with dinan stuff, good enough....
What is the diff from ACS and Dinan
Does BMW endorse one or the other?
Help me out guys?

Hmmm wonder what you're up to now...lol Dinan is a company recognized by BMW as their premier upgrade partner which doesn't void the warranty. Like AMG for Benz and Callaway for Vets. BMW was never into uping the par from their baseline cars because it has always been looked at as a step behind Benz not only by Germans but by other classes. If it was a premier choice I think you's see a M8 by now or even maybe a MclarenM8 who knows. Its in a class of its own.

Whats up dude ..got back from Vaca so dont be hating

:) Yes, definitly! But only for you, me and some other guys :stickoutt, none of the 100s people every day that just love to see an 8 will recognise the difference!

Damn Nig were you been i called you a few times i figured you fell off a cliff or something.

Right harry im constanly wrestling with the , down time vs drive time.
One big advantage of conventional suspension is hands off when its done its done.
The whole air ride is cool but you have to pay more attention to it.
And plus i should have driven the car with the dinan springs in place after the comfort struts came in i didnt get to and the springs are just laying around the garage and i dont want to sell them....!!!!!!
