Looks great, did this with the turbo inlet and boy that's a pain to do!

Summary: high quality, little sound, and noticeable throttle response.

Just received my Dinan Intake yesterday ahead of reported est. time

As with all the Dinan parts I have purchased, it is hi quality & the CF is perfect

Now I just need to install along with my new Forge CP & Dinan CF Inlet at same time since they are all related

I ordered direct couple months ago when they were 1st on backorder

Install is complete =EZ

Did it over lunch - left the Forge CP & Dinan Intake Tube for another day...

One thing to note: most of the rubber grommets from both the engine cover & the CAI remained on the OEM covers & air cleaner when removed due to it being the 1st time.

I applied some silicone grease to the interior of all the grommets where the studs engage b4 re-installing to ease the install & future removal with grommets remaining in place on car

On with the pics :

Yes, it is the DownStar Inc SS/Aluminum Underhood Kit meant for M340i, but worx just the same for my M440i - I did add a couple individual items for the Strut Braces & other places that weren't included in the kit

Along with the Goodwrench/Blackline Aluminum Cap set - Washer fluid cap works just fine - you remove the old plastic cap & this installs into container neck with Oring. Nice & tight, but no problem with removal to fill. I've had one on my 2015 435 for yrs. with no issues

Rest is obviously Dinan - I embellished the CF engine cover with a MPerformance Decal & Custom CF Heritage Emblem so as to look more like the OEM design & match the exterior emblems

Oh, CF Radiator Upper Shield is from AutoTechnik, again listed as for M340i, but M440i is exactly the same

I purchased the V1 intake (2 years ago now), and ended up upgrading to the V2 lid (1 year ago) so I can also run the struts in the posts above as the older lid's design was incompatible.

Just want to give Dinan_Engineering a shout out for not only the great product but for outstanding customer service.

Getting in contact with the team to get the upgrade started was painless.
I had to slightly cut the edge of the V1 intake box as instructed by Dinan Support in order to fit the V2 lid and throughout the entire process they were super responsive/helpful.

I ran the V2 lid for about a year and noticed cracks on the carbon fiber right where the DINAN lettering is. Got in touch with support and they made things right same day. New lid is on the way to make the engine bay look proper again.
I couldn't believe how easy/painless the interaction was. No questions asked as the issue was clearly described and my view as a customer was understood.
Working for a few software companies in my time, I've seen some really shitty customer service, and Dinan is on the opposite end of that spectrum.

Keep up the good work Dinan_Engineering

Can't wait to get the brace version, although the restock date has been pushed back a couple times since my order. Hopefully I'm in the 5/26 batch as the new date is now 6/9.
I have the Dinan inlet and tower braces ready to go, but now I'm contemplating of I should go ahead and do the charge pipe while I'm at it.
