The eagle has landed!!! Lol, that's all for now. Once I get back home I'll take some more pics. Just had to crack the box open before I left.
Packaged very nicely 👍 |

Was a slight mix up with the hardware kit missing but support came thru and overnighted all of the missing hardware.
No impressions on driving yet, but looks nice 😎 |

That would be news to us. We have zero support tickets in on the product since launch and the handful of test mules haven't had any issues the entire course of validation (last few months). What dealer is this?

With how new the product is, I would be surprised if your shop has actually installed any. Sounds like BS to me.

Looking forward to purchasing this intake. However, I have the oem Z4 strut bar. Would it be a while until you guys make a new lid that supports the strut bar?

Strut bar compatible lid (M440i kit essentially) is in development but is still a ways out unfortunately.

Well to be honest, my review is mixed. I wanted to drive around a few days before I shared my thoughts. The last 2 days have finally been nice enough to have windows down so I can listen. First off, the build and carbon fiber bits are top notch. This intake looks absolutely amazing. Installation is a breeze! (Once you know how to handle the crimp style clamp on the intake inlet ) stupid crimp! Now the big question I know you're all wondering....how does it sound? In one word my overall impression is meh. I honestly expected to hear some whooshing sounds like in the video but I'm not hearing that at all from the cabin. Even when I had it parked in the garage running and had my teenager who btw loved every minute of hammering on the accelerator, I could only hear a slight difference. My car lives in Sport+ so when flying around town you can't really hear much. Or at least I didn't. Tbh, all I heard were the burbles and pops from my MPE. I'm guessing a microphone was used in the engine bay for the demo video which accompanied the Dinan release. We have some spring like weather this week so a friend and I are going to record some drive by video to see how that intake sounds. Maybe you hear more as a bystander along the road vs in the cabin. Overall I am happy with my purchase as I love the carbon fiber bits and what not. Plus it looks really good in there. Total eye candy! Oh, and as far as my butt dino, it felt faster up top but then again, everybody's butt dino measures differently. Lol |

Glad you (and your son) have gotten some enjoyment out of it and are generally happy with the purchase. As far as sound goes -- late model BMW's are insulated all to hell so cabin sound is always difficult. Its a bit easier to notice outside but a fully open intake is always going to give you the most potential sound for sure. So if sound is the primary reason for getting an intake then yes, there are other paths that are more conducive to that. |

I agree the build quality is great, also want to note the great customer service I received from Dinan when I had the hardware kit missing (this was previously mentioned). Installation was super easy, agreed with the clamp being the most tedious part. Sound wise, I wasn't expecting to hear much (already have a evolution raceworks DP installed), however, I didn't buy this item for sound. Performance wise, I do "feel" an increase in throttle response over stock. The car loves it and I'm loving it. Matched with my other supporting mods, I'm happy with my purchase. Forgot to mention that I am also tuned on Carbahn Stg1. Last edited by m340ninja; 03-01-2021 at 04:08 PM.. |
