Also, if doing the runs be sure to use 4wd sport I think it helps to improve times, with DSC off as you now know is an option.

I'm kind of hesitant on dsc off 4wd sport I was going up a hill and florred it and legit ended up doing a 360 and ending up on other side of the road thankfully it was like 1 am no cars or anybody around. if I try this option again it will strictly be just for going in a straight line

Of course only for straight line. Like for 60-130 or launching it.

For 60-130 I actually use 4wd sport MDM which is safer for traction, usually there won’t be a loss of traction causing power to cut in when starting the run from say 40-50mph so it should give same results in most cases as DSC OFF while being safer. The only reason for launching in 4wd sport we need DSC off is because you need to have DSC off in order to engage launch control, but of course not for a rolling 60-130 run so in that case you can do 4wd sport MDM no problem. Also let it auto upshift as it’s hard to manually shift better and more consistently than the computer will handle it.

noted you got me a little scared there I was trying 4wd sport dsc off and driving it a little harsh and ya without hesitation that happened but makes sense to use 4wdaport mdm in a roll and I agree computer easily shifts better I would love to have the xhp stage 3 tune as well sometime when my ecu unlocks i had it on my 2018 340i

[SatinblkF90]

Exactly and I’m stage 2. Imagine stage 2 m5 driving in DSC off 4wd sport lol. Almost like being rear wheel driven with all that power is scary. MDM is amazing because your traction is still there (just less sensitive) and you still get the extra power kicking in from the rear bias torque split. Perfect setup for 60-130 runs without risking it flying off the road.

I found on launching its safe to use it as long as it’s good conditions for grip like hotter day, it should def not lose control, but if it’s a cooler day where traction is not ideal it’s best to use DSC off with 4wd regular. These are personally best way I found to combine performance/safety on the f90.

oh ya with a stage 2 m5 4wd dsc off forget about it lmao. but hotter day I could see this being optimal for a launch

You guys are funny haha. Damn, don’t put it in rwd! I spun in rwd at 100kmh in 3rd if it’s cool out.

Calling them first thing in the morning

Ugh. Someone must have slapped a label on the wrong box in the madness of shipping 2 weeks of orders in those couple days trying to catch back up. That explains where the missing 330i intake we were looking for yesterday went though. lol

Regardless give the guys a call at 1-800-341-5480 this morning and they will get a return label and the correct product out to you ASAP. Will give them a heads up to expect the call when they get in.

thank you guys for getting me straight over fighting them over

Will this be compatible with the M5 CS?

Wouldn't see why not. Other than the engine cover the engine bay hardware is identical.

Did you ever sample Eventuri? Curious on your thoughts if so. I currently have and like my Eventuri, but the Dinan inlets have me thinking. So far Dinan is the only one that has addressed the inlet situation. I'm changing everything that deals with air flow except the turbos so this would be the final piece.

[brad65ford]

From the looks of it they are the two pieces that would work great together.

[lixiang7349]

Up to 2 hp gain plus multiple cel?

Have not. Rarely do we bring in other brands parts for evaluation. In this particualr case the design/development of the intake and inlets was completed well before anyone presented any options onto the market to compare against. Manufacturing hiccups and emissions testing unfortunatly postponed the release however for nearly 2 years while all of those hurdles were addressed.

Would not work together as the mate points are at different points of the intake tract. The Dinan inlets go from the turbo all the way to the airbox whereas a great deal of aftermarket intakes bisect this and make the break point past the bellows section (1/2 way down the full inlet tract). To my knowledge the Dinan and OEM intakes are the only systems that will mate to the Dinan inlets.

[brad65ford]

I believe i follow.

Will there be available for the g30?

Which G30? No plans for a 540i intake at present. Just hasnt been enough demand to warrant the resource allocation. The M550i there is demand but there just isnt enough physical room to make it work other than possibly a front mount solution but that doesn't fit our credo for a sealed solution.

I do have a 540. Hopefully in the future one gets made for it. There is lack of demand because there's not a lot of good options out there. Thanks.

I love how this has the front carbon fiber piece just overtop of the kidney grills. I was blown away by Gruppe M's presentation of their Intake System for the F90 and now I'm very pleased to see what Dinan_Engineering just showcased. By chance, do you have any sound clips or videos of an F90 with this?

[SatinblkF90]

Is anyone at all getting a CEL with these inlets? Can’t believe I’m getting a “low crankcase pressure” CEL with these. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice, double checked everything is secure and tight. Stock inlets and cel goes away no issues at all. Even tested these same inlets on my friends f90 and his doesn’t throw a code. Both of us are even running the same stage 2 tune. Can’t believe my car for some reason is literally rejecting this mod. Very disappointed to say the least.
