It’s Friday night and you pull up to a red-light with your girlfriend in your brand new ’08 BMW M3. A guy pulls up next to you in his ’08 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, pulls down the window and goes “I’ve got 27kW more than you sucker,” and smokes you. Ouch – big shot to your man-hood.
So when 309kW isn’t enough for you Dinan Cars will come to your rescue.
According to Modified Luxury & Exotics News, Dinan will be building a new 2008 BMW M3 with a 5.7-litre V10 that will produce 461kW.
While other tuners (such as Hartge, Hamann and AC Schnitzer) have dropped the BMW V10 engine into either the M3 or 335i, this stroked engine will make the Dinan M3 the most powerful to date. “We also plan on lightening up the front end so it handles properly,” says Dinan.
The vehicle will be released in roughly a year, well after Dinan releases its 4.6-litre big bore kit for the new M3 at the end of this year.
