Check out DINAN's website and look at the Dinan M3 supercharger kit that offers a full 4 YEAR/50,000 mile warranty including, get this......CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES!!!!!!!

With the 10 or so FI kits out for the Z that all the manufacturers are claiming to be safe on the stock motor, why doesn't any of them offer this kind of product backing? Makes you wonder.

yea that aint cheap at all we are talking about 10k or more easily on just minor things with the supercharger. Plus this people most likely have a contract with BMW or something like that that allows them to give out warranty. Is like stillen if im not wrong stillen has a contract with nissan again if im not mistaken.

If it wasn't for the Hood Thing, The Stillen Kit with the Warranty would probably be the #1 kit sold.

Also, according to their dyno plots this looks to be flywheel hp and not wheel hp.

The warranty is a nice feature though.

owning a bmw and buying DINAN parts is extremely costly...about 7 of 12 of my close friends have m3's and one has a new m5 and none of the dinan parts are NOT cheap... think my friend paul told me an exhaust for a 330i is like 3800...its rediculous....but when you have a passion you figure out how to afford it just like all of us...im actually going with them to some meet in bear mountain on saturday

from what i gathered while owning my e36 m3 is that the dinan warranty only stays true if you get all the stuff installed by a certified dinan installer ie a bmw dealership. hendrick bmw that i used to go to charged 95 an hour for labor. if you look on dinans website, they have the hours that a certified installer charges and its rediculous. its really not worth it anyways. for 16k you can go with the active autowerke turbo kit and have some left over.

Dinan is mad expensive. Maybe part of the price is REAL R/D and a more solid product? (or insurance)

They figured if you dished out the cash for an ///M then you can dish out the cash to upgrade it too.
