Do not unfortunately. It has been at Laguna Seca and not kicked off the track though. May have given us a pass for all I know though.

I had my dealer order the exhaust and intake. It should be arriving the same time as my car next week, allowing them to install. I also ordered the sport boost controller. Since it makes the same ~30 HP as stage 1, I figured why spend the extra $1200 or so. I'll save up and get the stage 4 when the time comes. I'm confident the non-matching warranty sport unit is safe to use.

That is correct. I'm going to wait until Spring for stage 4 so I'll keep that cash in my pocket for the time being.

Stage 4 is where it's at. Can't wait for it to come out. I really hope it'll crack 500whp on e85 or some blend.

I doubt e85 or any race fuel will bump you up 100 whp. I'd go Pure stage 2 with fbo, JB4 and meth if you want an absolute animal. I'll be satisfied with an M2 CS killer 400 whp car that's safely tuned and that can be DD with ease.

Dinan, is there going to be some sort of a formal "review article" when stage 4 becomes available (from dinan or preferably 3rd party)? Driviabilty is an issue. For example, the car already has some traction problems during acceleration, especially if the road is cold and/or wet. How is this addressed? Will the torque be somehow limited at lower rpms? Also, will there be 1/4 mi times available to see if this $$ upgrade has real world benefits?
Thanks. B |

As far as low end torque is concerned Dinan has never been one for a surge of power down low. Its memorable and puts a big number on a dyno but we always tip into power so that max power is made at, or close, to redline. Usable power is more important than a surge that feels awesome but serves little to no actual benefit. We leave 0-60 and time to distance specs to others as there are a wide variety of factors involved in those metrics that more often then not cannot be replicated or can be skewed easily. C&D will do an instrumented test though I'm sure. |

The Dinan is a closed box so it probably won't be as loud as say, the BMS which is open. Regardless, I'm sure it's louder than stock.

Patience is a virtue??
Spoke to a Dinan rep yesterday inquiring about the Stage 4 release... I was told probably early next year. It seems the waiting game continues.
Question for Dinan...will the Dinan warranty still hold on the Stage 4 if I use an intake from another manufacturer? Thanks! |

Otherwise we can save the wait and just check all the good media reviews already out there on S4 M235i now.
