Post Dinan to drop 628-hp V10 in the 2008 BMW M3

Dinan will be building a new 2008 BMW M3 with a 5.7L V10 that will produce 628, can't wai to see this!

Uhm, I'm very interested to see if the power will, at all, be able to put down in the ground. The E92 M3 is pretty difficult to control as it is with the 400 horsies its got. Dinan are crazy for doing this one

Do you think dealers will be able to sell these? I know dealerships sold previous generation Dinan models.

^That's the one, alright. Good move on Dinan's part -- if only for the press and dyno/acceleration figures. A whole lot more respect if they can, as mentioned above, get it harnessed and working effectively on the street/track. Hartge, eat your heart out!

I recall a recent discussion on another board where a member had gotten their hands on a letter from BMW to its dealers saying that as of 9-08 they would no longer warranty any Dinan modified cars - so I assume no to your question.

Understatement. This will be a beast! Should be more fun than Jezza had in the C63.
