Nice cars. Really like the little DD e30.

If I was the owner of an original Dinan M6 turbo though I would be taking it to the best Dinan shop in town, also happens to be one of a handful of shops in the world that is authorized to do Dinan S3 M5's. That is just me though.

I actually talked with the owner of the car. Very nice car for sure.

Oh yes. It was quick back in the day when Dinan did it! They even made a rare twin turbo kit for 850's.

Is that Hodnett's clean red vert with his custom turbo kit?

Currently running an open header so you can't really even hear yourself think and when it backfires feels like you just ran over a truck load of apples banging against your feet :tongue:

reliable and up to how much psi/hp u think? Better than M52?The m52 has thicker sleeves and the initial cost is less...plus you can put in the M3 cams ($300 used) and valvetrain and gain quite a bit. I'm sticking with the M52 :D

PM CardCounter on bimmerforums. M50 or M52 I don't remember exactly but he got up into the 600s on stock stuff. Metal head gasket if I remember correctly.

I could be wrong but I believe that was the stuff.

The m52 is easily reliable at 500whp with stock internals.

There we go. Haven't read up on it in awhile. Knew it was something like what I said.

ll keep you updatedThe S50/52 is fine to boost, especially if the car already comes with it...I'm too cheap though, i'd buy a 328i and put suspension, wheels, and a turbo on it for not much more than a clean M3 :tongue:
