FWIW, I've had good experience with Knauz. I've heard that Fall Line is fantastic but pricey, and heard nothing but crap about Laurel's service department. Not sure about Patrick.
My Dinan excursions will be either Knauz or Fall Line, but it'll be a while still I think. |

hm. intake, exhaust, throttle body, strut brace, springs & shocks. Is there really no software? I've heard nothing but glowing reviews of Dinan suspension systems. I'm definitely considering the S2 suspension setup for my 335 -- I don't know anything about tuning a suspension setup, and I trust Steve Dinan to tell me what I want more than J. random performance shop. |

I just had my Dinan Exhaust and Dinan Tune at Patrick BMW. The guy Dinan Guy Kurt hooks it up to any one that goes there! Patrick BMW does an amazing job for just about anything!

That's where I heard of Patrick lately -- the "Kurt said it was $1600" discount on the Dinan flash

yeah and ive read about the shops listed on their website, i was wondering who normally would do an install for u guys private shops. Laurel is right by my house and ive had them work on my car before they are a good dealership and offer dinan brochures at the parts counter although im mainly looking for a good private shop and trying to save a little on labor rates if i get good recommendations on a particular shop. Bad thing is it will prolly cost me 2k or something to have it installed at laurel even if i bring the parts, dinan says it will take about 15 hrs to do the whole package. |

Just call Kurt at Patrick BMW and talk to him... all I can say, is that he HOOKED me up big time! He even let me in the back to see the exhaust being worked on! Super Nice Guy! BTW, he ordered the Dinan Stage 2(or 3) for me! Hopefully, I'll be one of the first to get it tuned in the Chicagoland area!
