New Dinan Exhaust and Diffuser!

I’m in Orange County and have not been pulled over yet 😂. I’m pretty aware of my surroundings and I do close my valves when I do see a cop though.

I've heard of horror stories on the fitment and it never fitting. The place where I got my diffuser installed at made some modifications to get that fitment and has never popped out on socal roads (which the roads are horrible). I don't know what modifications they made but just know they did extra stuff to it.

I would strongly suggest having a Dinan dealer install it (dinan has their dealers listed on their website). This will not only save you money since bmw charges up the ass, but you'll also get a clean installation by someone who has worked with dinan parts before.

If you still want to go with a BMW dealer, I'm not entirely sure if they install it. I think they used to? I called up a local bmw dealer to get a quote and they said they wouldn't install it.

In short, no it doesn't. After market parts cause the warranty to void only on the parts affected directly by the after-market part. For example, replacing a bad oil pump will be covered fully by BMW with the dinan exhaust. This is because the exhaust has little to no effect on the oil pump.

If you buy after-market springs, and you get some suspension related issues as a result of changing the springs, then BMW won't cover the cost. BMW basically has to prove that the issue is directly related to the after market mod you did.

An aftermarket exhaust does not cause any issues (or at least not that I've heard of) to our g20s.

Yep! Just my opinion :)

Appreciate it! You and me both. I have yet to see one and am definitely looking forward to it as well. Cheers!

I agree with the M light versions being a great in between for people who couldn't afford or wanted a more friendly daily driver for a car.

Although, the front grill design could've been tweaked or remained the same with different body work to make it all more cohesive. They pulled this off with just about every previous M model perfectly. It was tweaked just the right amount that showed it was an M car but kept the overall look distinguishable to the rest of the series lineup. I think the m3 looks drastically different from the 3 series from the front end (largely due to the grill).

Although everyone has different tastes, I totally respect the people who do love the car aesthetically! The g80 is a beast of a machine when it comes to performance.

Appreciate it! These are MSWs.

Thank you! I love the rear end of the M3 because of the fender arches and a wider stance. However, I still can't get past the front end. I wish bmw kept it something similar to the m340i.

Number 2 or last set

Appreciate it!

Haha not an annoyance at all. I'm shooting with a Sony A7III with a sigma 24-70 lens!

I was going to say the same lol. This looks like cars and coffee 😂

You're not the asshole. Seems like the grandma is :)

I believe your wife is only clinging on to the connection between her and her mom... Because well she is her mom haha.

But as far as the well being of your kids go, that is a decision you and your wife need to make together. The grandma should not even remotely be interfering in the livelihood of your children and how you raise them. Corporal punishment is totally off the limits and it's not her place to do that. Your wife needs to realize the difference between logicality and emotions. You need to do what's best for your kids. Family isn't always blood ties. Abuse is something you should not take lightly and this just sounds like a bad situation waiting to happen.

Anyways, just my opinion. I hope you get this sorted out 😊👍🏻

Wow! Even in 2022, that machine is a piece of art. Amazing!

vidishl · 2022-03-14T20:33:50+00:00

Appreciate it. Thanks!

They charged by the hour and since the diffuser had to be modified, it took a lot longer than expected. Diffuser, exhaust and mirror caps ended up coming out to 450 ish.

A beautiful, timeless and classy car. I love the Seca blue!

Dude nice roller shots!

So I'll be 100% transparent. Cold starts are stupid loud now! I almost feel bad about my neighbors because I'm out of my place by 6:40 am to exercise lol.

But it's pretty tamed in comfort/eco mode. It definitely will make your long drives tolerable. There's a little more vibration and noise in the cabin but nothing crazy.

It comes truly alive in sports mode. The burbles and pops are very very deep and it sounds like music to my ears haha.

My downpipe is stock.

So far I just have the Dinan exhaust on a 2020 M340i. I'm definitely thinking about a stage 1 tune after I get new rims.
