Ok gang,

I don't think there has been a Dinan Group Purchase in the recent past. Since they went through this BMW exclusive relationship, dealers are hestitant on mail order
because PARTS NOT INSTALLED AT A DINAN DEALER DOES NOT CARRY ANY WARRANTY.

Anyway, I may have convinced one dealer to offer a discount on purchases, initial discussions are for 10-15% which isn't bad considering everything is greater than
$300.

If you would like to participate in a Group Purchase, please email me your TOP 3 parts you would like to order and can afford (assuming you get a 10% discount).
Since this is my second try at organizing a GP (the first JTD Strut Brace was a failure) I would like to limit it to a couple of items, probably the Dinan CAI and
maybe a strut bar. No requests for superchargers etc. that would just make this too complicated.

Also, to make this thing happen, help me spread the word. Post it on the boards you think might have interest.

Thanks !

Jeff

For the comment about not carring a warranty if not installed at one of there certified facilities, I installed my own CAI, and mine came with a warranty.

Note: If you are looking at getting the CAI, european ellipsoid lights are not compatable. They are too big or something, at least thats what the instruction manual says.

Also, if you are thinking about a chip, I might be intrested in that.

I think I might be able to answer any questions about the intake you guys might have.

Hey Hyperion

How is the dinan CF intake? I have the ecis system and i think i am going to switch to Dinan. How does it sound and perform? IS the install pretty simple? Also i think that the dinan will fit with ellipsoids, i may be wrong though. Let me know your opinions about the dinan unit. Thanks

Is there something I should know about ECIS intake with ellipsoids? They don't fit together?!?!? Don't tell me that, I have a pair of ellipsoids being delivered tomorrow! http://www.contrabandent.com/pez/cwm/cwm/eek5.gif

98m3/2, they will fit. I think you just need a smaller cone. Hyperon was talking about the dinan CAI

I'd be interested in a chip or CAI or Fr Strut brace.

I guess this is a no go?? Anyone else heard anything?

Yep, so far its a no go. apparently dinan's contracts with the dealers are written to put the fear of god in them if they try and sell outside their assigned geographic regions. no one is willing to mail order it out into another dinan dealers region in fear of Dinan corporate finding out.

the option presented was for me to gather the cash, buy it all and mail order it out myself, which wasn't an option for me.

sorry people !
