Applications
The top model, BMW M3 SR-3, costs nearly twice what the regular car does, reasonably so according to Auto Week. Dinan’s S3-R M3 has a Vortech gear-driven supercharger, air-to-air intercooler, bigger fuel injectors, and a better oil cooler and radiator. This setup gives the S3-R M3 a total of 462 hp and 328 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel. To put all of the horsepower to the pavement, Dinan adds a 3.91 Limited slip differential, Dinan/JRZ adjustable strut/springs, front camber plates, better suspension bushings, bigger brakes for the front and rear, and wider Michelin Pilot Sport 2’s on Dinan’s signature 19-inch Alloy wheels.
The variety doesn’t stop with BMW. Dinan also designs and manufactures aftermarket performance parts for Minis, supported by a Dinan warranty which matches the factory BMW and Mini warranty programs. Dinan’s Mini Cooper S (stage one) produces 225 bhp compared to the stock 180 hp. This upgrade is done without increasing the stock boost pressure. The modifications that Dinan has changed on his “stage one” Mini include special engine software which allows the engine to breathe better, a high flow intake system, twin 3-inch diameter free flowing exhaust, and a strut tower brace.
