add 2 doors, all wheel drive, dual clutch tranny, drop 20 grand. I'll take one.

CGP CL9

why would you want that car in awd?
and a sedan? lol

037

John, look at you, look at me. That is the answer.

037

or...could just get the CTS-V.

GoldnKnight22

Sooo...... you'd get a 70-grand 335i instead of an M3???

037

nah...I wanted 20 grand off on the 335ix.

GoldnKnight22

...I think you lost me.

Were you just wishing that the Dinan S3 was available for 20-grand less than the price shown? That would make sense I guess.

But I wish that every car was 20-grand less than they are, lol.

ummmm 335i coupe RWD FTW!

lol good luck getting that.

dinan upgrades are available for 335ix sedan. they have the same engine....

DaChef320

70000 grand for a S3 335i naw i pass i rather get a CPO GTR for that price and it'll smoke the shit outta the S3 335i

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

seriously. or just go through another aftermarket company that chips the 335, theres a few reliable ones out there.

I'll bet you could buy a 335i, do a stage three Dinan tune, Dinan suspension, intake and exhaust and it will come out cheaper than buying it off the showroom floor, and you'll get the same power.

I would prefer a sedan over a coupe. I personally think they look better. I'll take mine in black.

JMillerUA6

iTrader: (1)

The stage 3 Dinan tune by itself raises the car to 398bhp and 429ftlbs of torque at a price tag of $2699.

037

if you read the fine print to achieve that you need their larger intercooler and the exhaust.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

vishnu procede rev 2 (comes WITH exhaust and intake) for 3G's.

420 hp.

they've been featured in magazines and are a proven company. only advantage to getting dinan is warranty retention.

Yes, I've been researching a bit....

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

you dont NEED it.

JMillerUA6

I still want a clean, low mileage, e36 M3 sedan in Techoviolet...........I'm easy to please......

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

trade the TL, they dont cost much.

GoldnKnight22

Steve, Justin.....

Honestly how much of a visual difference would the 1" drop make from the prokits? Enough to make the car sexy.... or not enough to hide the fact it's 4x4 as fawk.... I know it's a GOOD 3-finger gap at least right now.


I'm having a hard time deciding wtf to do....

i had a my 04 M3 chipped by dinan and tuned by them ohh boy $$$$$ how i regret to spend all that money on the car

iTrader: (1)

look in my AZ album pics, theres a few shots of the eibachs with my old tl-s rims.

DaChef320

iTrader: (1)

Dinan products are very reliable only problem it cost soooo much money maybe cause it still has warranty on car i did spend like 16000 on aftermarket shit on my old M3 FML

I'm on a boring telecon so here you go:






it was 2 fingers in the front, maybe less.

Carries car on the Eibachs......

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

carries car sits lower in the front with the AT tho.

GoldnKnight22

Jeezus, were those Carrie's stock shocks too? The rolling shot looks like she's pretty low, but I guess that's because she's hellasunk. haha.

thanks steve, check out the pics in your album too.

If I can grab a set of Skunk2's I might do that since they drop 2" and 1.8" and they're much cheaper than H&R Race. I just have to see if they could do 3-day shipping in time for me to install them Thurs/Fri. If not, then it looks like I'll be doing the Eibachs.

JMillerUA6

iTrader: (1)

Just do the Eibachs Kevin. Borrow them from Carrie for a couple weeks, and give them back after we install the coils. It won't cost you anything, and it'll kill most of your wheel gap.

GoldnKnight22

If it didn't cost me anything, I would.
But I'm not crazy about having to buy them and then sell them once I get the coilovers.

If I have to do that, I might as well get the skunk2's. Ya know?

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

I'd let you just use them kevin, but I feel like if I dont sell them now at the begining of the summer, it will be harder to sell them come july/august and I dont want them hanging around anymore, I may be moving soon.

GoldnKnight22

It's your call man, I'm not trying to entitle myself to your springs or anything, lol.

Just trying to see what makes the most sense for me. Borrowing the springs for 2 weeks would be cool.

But having a good 2" drop for CanAm would be so much more satisfying. I'm waiting for Marcus (Heeltoe) to call me back. If they do 3-day shipping and ship out today, I'm considering just getting the skunk2's. That way I'm not tying you up at all and we wouldn't have to figure out how I'd get them from you either.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

2 weeks is different than the 1 month+ that carrie described.

you can do that, but I would appreciate if you try to sell them when you are done with them for ~100 and just gave me the money.

I need to raise my car up and your need to drop yours. maybe next weekend we could get together? I'm off next fri and next mon. too

JMillerUA6

iTrader: (1)

I think we are supposed to get together on that Saturday so we can get things buttoned up before CanAm. Kevin is out of town that weekend though.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

I cant make canam, but can I come down with you to carries so we can raise my front?

JMillerUA6

iTrader: (1)

Yup, as long as I get time to do the things I want to do on my car.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

it wont take long, then I can help you after. we did carries front pretty quick, I dont even think the top hats need to come off.
