Appreciate the reply. I've checked with the Dinan dealer at Calgary BMW and they didn't have a clue what I was taking about.
Would prefer to order within Canada to avoid duty charges etc.
Can you provide a verified Canadian dealer who is confirmed to have this available for purchase?
Thank you.

By dealer I'm not sure if you mean your local BMW dealer or an independent parts reseller. If the latter I have always purchased my Dinan parts through forum sponsor x-ph.com. Typically offers very aggressive landed pricing inside and outside the US.

I usually IM him through the forum for pricing, eta etc..

There are a couple of Canadian based businesses who are authorized Dinan sellers. I've reached out but haven't heard anything back and their websites don't have anything yet on the intake.
I'll reach out to Mike and see what he can do.

Wondering why does the similar MST system list the power gains as 15 to 20 compare to only 9 with this one and the price is similar.

Any stated power gains on an intake (just like an exhaust) are going to be within a dyno's margin of error (same dyno different day, one dyno vs another etc..)

Exhaust and intakes on the M340 are really just for sound and/or appearance, there is little to no power to be had.

Hope this helps

Yes you are probably right 10 HP gained at 6500 rpm, will not be noticeable at lower rpm which is 90% of the time and at high rpm it will not be much, so I guess you can still get this for the added engine sound, not sure if is worth it.

+1 I agree

It used to be so much easier - add an intake and/or an exhaust and get more power / but on the B58 equipped cars those mods are now largely just for sound and appearance which is 100% okay if that's what you want

Hard to tell from the promo video how this truly sounds. Tempted to just bite the bullet and get it, but since I wouldn't be able to install for some time I'll wait for someone to post a clip!

WoW, this is a nice offering from Dinan, - it looks like a well-rounded performance part.

Like the fact that they took the time and resources to revamp the bottom end of the intake, arguably the section no one can actually see, shows that they engineered this intake with practicality in mind and not just the bling or aural factor, as most skeptical folks assumes most intakes are about..

The M340i gallops on the stock intake, I could imagine how it feel with this setup, allowing wider gulps of air, at higher RPMs..

Beautify setup indeed, now it's just time to shock myself with the sticker price

That's arguably the most shocking part -- and in a good way.

I have always been a fan of Dinan intakes, their carbon and finish is top-notch, they focus on performance, and are reasonably priced
