Thoughts on this Dinan S3R

sy2767 · 10-03-2017, 04:38 PM

This is a Canadian car so mileage and prices are in Canadian $$$, Your thoughts and opinion, please.

How old is that listing?

i'm certain I've seen this listing before and at a dealership...

6ixSpd · 10-03-2017, 04:47 PM

Saw that a few days ago, seems pretty badass. I would be all over it if it was 6MT and had a different interior...

EDIT: Oh wow, so that's a SECOND S3R in Canada for sale at the moment. I thought it was the AW on Black E92 DCT in Oakville. This one: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/BMW/M/Tor...&orup=7_15_110

this car is also listed in the los angeles craigslist classifieds. I posted the link in the "for sale" section asking if anyone recognized the car but didn't get any replies. At first glance the price looks too good to be true..

TomHudson · 10-03-2017, 05:18 PM

There is another one for sale a while ago, but it was white, around the same price. I think it all depends on the mileage on the engine, and the maintenance that's been done. I think the usual due diligence on thorough background, maintenance check would go a long way.

Woow that seems to be a lot of car for the money!! They don't come around here otherwise I couldnt help myself go looking. With that amount of crazy investment one have to assume (hope) it is well mainted too.

I agree with Helmsman. Dinan mods are very high quality, but the reality is that modifications to an M3 do not increase its value, and $36K for a 2009 with over 120,000 km seems a bit steep.

That?s in Canadian dollars. The one in La posting or wherever it was in the states was 30k which I think is reasonable

I'd agree, and I think the posting also mentioned that mileage on the engine is lower as it was swapped in later

The Oakville one is a really nice example.

TomHudson · 10-05-2017, 06:24 AM

I like the idea that its the E90 with the S3R and DCT.

The interior is not my choice, but then again, I do have a current black interior....

Does Dinan even support the strokers anymore? I don't see any info on them on their website..

sy2767 · 10-05-2017, 08:33 AM

I really don't like palladium silver interiors but it can be changed out very easily.

TomHudson · 10-12-2017, 06:53 AM

So I looked into this car further and had it send to Reg Reimers shop in Calgary for a PPI, inspection for all Dinan stuff and did compression and leak down tests.

Long story short, car is in exemplary shape. Engine is perfect, all Dinan equipment is on this car and then some. Paint is solid, history is good with 3 Owners no accidents with all receipts...

Anyway, I bought it.

Wow, congrats man! It only makes sense you?re selling your other one now. I was wondering why you?d move on after getting yours modded just this past summer lol.

Thanks.

The Dinan tune, DCT tunewere perfect for a daily driver, now to sell such a wonderful well sorted car. Quite a few interested in the MPE, no surprise there - it's basically brand new!

Anybody want a great car?

😇

opihi5 · 10-12-2017, 11:11 AM

Sounds like a good buy to me. That laser jammer system will save you big time lol
