    Its an E39 and thats mine lol. And why would i put some autozone shit on my car? Dinan is something that is earned not just stickered on your car. Makes you kind of unique in the bimmer world i guess. Its sort of like the honda guys putting "JDM" on their cars

    By JDM I'm assuming you mean companies like Mugen or RE Amemiya. Dinan is just a performance shop in California that specifically tunes BMW's. They're not even German, Dinan is actually a city in France lol!

    Dinan to BMW is what Saleen is to Mustang or AMG is to Mercedes, that's a quote from Steve himself when he was in Roswell. I'm simply trying to understand the "JDM" analogy. It makes zero sense but maybe you can elaborate.

    Last names come from somewhere, many european names are some form of their descendents location.

    Well... "JDM" is completely retarded for referring to anything other than specific parts or cars manufactured in Japan. It's NOT a style, it's NOT a trend, it's NOT the "clean" look. RHD shipped from across the pond...JDM. Acura lowered with factory aero and some "JDM" parts...not so much. "JDM" doesn't even define performance in anyway lol!
