View Full Version : Anyone seen this car? - Dinan X
rwindleyme02 09-30-2003, 09:50 AM I saw this car on the way to work this morning all the way from buckhead to Jimmy Carter Blvd. up Peachtree Ind.:
X5 with a Dinan badge that read "Dinan X"
License Plate reads "OFFMKT"
Had a sticker in the back window that had 3 Asian charachters then below it "Alumni" ???
Huge, what looked like OEM Rims and red painted calipers (brembos? - I don't know)
I couldn't tell who ws driving it since the windows were tinted very dark.
Question 1: Anyone seen this car?
Question 2: Is it a real "Dinan X" - admittedly, I didn't know they made one.
Ron17 09-30-2003, 10:07 AM Geordie has apparently seen it before, if I'm not mistaken.
As to its authenticity, :dunno
BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 10:16 AM Yep, Anna and I saw it in Buckhead, and I actually have pics of it on her digital camera. I'd upload the pics, but I forgot to get her upload software. I'll get it up this weekend.

Great. We're all happy you don't have performance issues, but really... we don't need to know about these kinds of details.
BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 10:24 AM I knew you would say that. :biglaughb
See the "anybody from atlanta????????" thread. :laugh

BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 10:58 AM Oh yeah...the car.
It is, in fact a Dinan X. It is a 4.6is, all done up. It has 20" chrome HRE's. It has HUGE Brembos. It does not suck.
rwindleyme02 09-30-2003, 11:19 AM Yeah, I noticed that it didn't suck. We were at a stop light and it tore off in front of me. We weren't racing mind you, but I could tell it was definitely fast as hell.
rwindleyme02 09-30-2003, 11:19 AM I wonder what the chinese characters are about?

I suspect it would give most cars in our group more than they could handle in a straight-line race.
rwindleyme02 09-30-2003, 11:32 AM I kinda like the X5... It's growing on me. I might have to take a test drive some weekend when I'm in Athens.
No, I'm not thinging of getting rid of the 540...

No one's asking you to.
Anyways, *IF* possible, drive the 4.6is. That V-8 not only sounds good, but also packs a wallop!
If not, try to find a 4.4i. If all else fails, just drive the 3.0i. :az:
rwindleyme02 09-30-2003, 11:42 AM What do you guys have to drive over there Geordie?

Ooh! Ooh! Please come and waste my time by driving a car that you have no intentions of buying, simply because you "kinda" like it! I'll have nothing better to do anyway, since I'm on commission! ;)

Hmm...lemme look...about fifty 1999 323i automatics. That's it. :dunno

I denote the hint of sarcasm but realize the crapiness of the situation. That's why I left last time, b/c you were busy. :)
You really don't have any X5s for test drives?
BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 12:44 PM Yep. I have quite a few, actually.
Ron17 09-30-2003, 01:53 PM The real question is, do you have an 4.6is's available?
BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 01:59 PM No.
Sparc_it 09-30-2003, 03:04 PM TheBimmerStore has a 4.6 for sale. I am sure they would let you drive it. $59K price tag though.......
It comes stock with 20's and 315/30's on the back!!!!
BimmerDawg 09-30-2003, 03:06 PM I sold one last month to a local doctor. He financed the entire amount and his payment was $1,500+ over 60 months! :eek:
Sparc_it 09-30-2003, 03:08 PM Some people don't know how to budget or spend money correctly.....
How much more was he paying due to interest??
global had an estoril blue one that I was in love with. They sold it however. I wonder how a x5 would look in dakar :laugh

Probably the way it looks on an E36 M3...ghey. ;)
The e36 m3's flagship color was Dakar. If you see a yellow e36 you know its an m3. I think between estoril and dakar they are the best colors made for any car.
Ron17 10-01-2003, 01:29 PM What about purple? :D

Wrong. :biglaughb
please don't say cosmos. I could turd and it would be a better color then cosmos ;)
BimmerDawg 10-02-2003, 09:06 AM COSMOS!
Ron17 10-02-2003, 09:35 AM IMHO:
1) Estoril
2) Cosmos
3) Avus
4) Titanium/Arctic
5) Daytona/Techno

so you own your least favorite color m3? Dakar=owns all
Ron17 10-02-2003, 03:44 PM No... there's still green, red, yellow, white and copper that are below those five. ;)
I own my fifth favorite... but it's steadily gaining on silver. :D
BimmerDawg 10-02-2003, 04:08 PM Cosmos.
rwindleyme02 10-02-2003, 04:10 PM What about Laguna Seca? I like that and Avus... Oh yeah, and Jet Black!
Can you tell we're getting close to 2nd? ;)
BimmerDawg 10-02-2003, 04:10 PM LSB is E46. Very bad.
Ron17 10-02-2003, 04:25 PM I used to like LSB. Then I stopped. Now I'm neutral.
:az:
Sparc_it 10-02-2003, 04:26 PM *cough* steel grey *cough*
Ron17 10-02-2003, 04:27 PM We're talking E36 M3 colors.
Steel Grey, of course, was not an option.
Sparc_it 10-02-2003, 04:30 PM I just made it e46 as well :)

Ron17 10-02-2003, 04:34 PM If I had a dime for every hot sorority girl in Athens driving an E46 3-series...
Fuck the dimes, I'll just take the girls. :devillook
BimmerDawg 10-02-2003, 04:37 PM :lol:
Ron17 10-02-2003, 04:48 PM :(
Nevermind...
None of them would give me the time of day.

It can affect confidence, and performance.
BimmerDawg 10-02-2003, 04:58 PM :lol:
Funniest thing all day!
Ron17 10-02-2003, 05:02 PM I wonder if that stuff works? :devillook
rwindleyme02 10-02-2003, 05:04 PM Men's Health said none of that stuff works... otherwise they would have told you by now. ;)

Ron17 10-03-2003, 09:37 AM It's called delayed gratification, Ali. Work harder now, reap the benefits later.
