I think it would have been better if you would have drag race it special against the Porsche 911 Turbo s. Now if I do get a BMW I would like the old man to tune my BMW but I would have loved to see it drag race so therefore I will count this video as a waste. 02-18-24

In my time of working at BMW I've driven a few Dinan tuned cars. One that stood out to be greatly was an M2competition. That car was insane. The handling difference it had vs your regular M2 comp was incredible. And the difference it had to any other car was nothing short of miraculous the way it handled and put the power down while also feeling like a normal car in the interior, I didn't want to get out. I'll always remember that car.

@stefanmarraccini8646 Год назад

The Dinan name has been held in a place of respect, possibly reverence in my life since the late 20th century. (how's that for hot air?) I've had a few BMWs over the years, and turned to Dinan for my tuning needs. Always thrilled with my purchases. I think I first bought a Dinan product for an E30 M3 I got to enjoy for 10 years. Tracked the crap out of it in NorCal at Sears Point mostly and just loved it. Your's is a new name to me Rob Dahm, but one heck of a job here in this package. The Top Gear brand is the Shiznit, so I ain't surprised. Well, except for Clarkson. What a sour grouchy misanthrope is he. But I love the bloke anyway. lol

Steve Dinan is an absolute legend! I have been reading about his tuned BMWs since the Car n' Driver articles in the late 80s. If those around him have any sense, they will hire a videographer to follow Steve around, during 'working hours' (genius doesn't sleep, so this might end up being 16 hr days!) to record the practical knowledge (that's called wisdom), the experiences and the vision of this automotive pioneer... so that this invaluable info n' experience isn't lost forever, but preserved. Well, that would get super annoying for Steve, without a doubt... so maybe, just 9am til 6pm, Mon-Fri, for a year. Yeah.

The BMW M8 Competition has a raw feel that complements its sporty abilities. It's a rebel but also a law-obedient citizen. It's louder and more aggressive than in the past, but something is missing here. From a dynamic point of view, the car isn't that different from the M-tuned M850i xDrive. They have too many things in common, and Jeremy Clarkson thinks it's a problem.
