Ever meet one of those parents who are never satisfied no matter how well their kids do? The child comes home with a 98% on a school exam and the parent asks "How'd you lose two percent?" Dinan is one of those parents. But instead of overstressed children, Dinan produces overachieving performance automobiles.
Take, for example, the latest M3, which BMW unveiled with a V8 derived from the award-winning 5-liter V10 found in the M5 and M6. The eight replaced the inline-six on the previous model, but instead of remaining content to say "good job on the extra two cylinders", Dinan asks what happened to the extra two from the V10. Not that they would have been happy with the V10, either. On that, Dinan pushed and pushed, boring and stroking out the engine's ten cylinders until they got it up to 5.7 liters and 628 horsepower. Pretty sick, but saddled with the heft of a BMW 5 or 6 Series, Dinan couldn't help but ask what would happen to its pride and joy in a more suitable setting. Word has it now that Dinan is preparing to shoehorn in its 628-hp concoction into the M3's engine bay. Thankfully they'll be lightening it up a little after that, removing some of the bulk from the front end in order to keep the weight balance in check. We can't wait to see what it can achieve.

What's the point? 630hp in a M3 for what? Race Porsches? Dinan has lot time in their hands

This is as pointless as the BRABUS C-class bullet

I think this car is pure humor...

Have you guys heard about the C class Brabus has in the works it has a RR engine
Its called the Trent 900

That power output is not what an M3 needs... Let alone heavier V10 engine and compromised weight distribution. Give it a 60hp power increase, lower the suspension and make it even more sportier, enhance the brake discs, DCT and try to apply the lightweight materials wherever you can and you'll have something that even GT-R will be afraid off... All must be produced by M divison of course.

I know they can do it, just like with previous CSL...

And EnI & SCOTT, don't give me any b*** about marketing reasons whatsoever, every car needs a market for it to make money 'cause that's what it's all about and this car does have it and you know it. There's no 1 valid reason why that car shouldn't be produced. (sorry if i've missed something about new CSL)

PS: Greetings from beautiful Croatian coast... One week to go... I just love hoildays...

^ Lol,enjoy the sun and blue waters man

I wonder what gearbox the car will use. The Brabus C-Class V12 bullet uses the Maybach gearbox.

Dinan M5 uses SMG, so I bet it is the same in this case too.
