I checked out the Dinan site but no mention of this throttle body. Additive your going to get 37bhp with the CAI, Exhaust, chips. With the mosselman supercharger your going to get plus 100 before you add exhaust, obviously you'll get a new intake, intercooler, and software. Hey, I'm not making a pitch for Mosselman, but for 2 large for Dinans stuff, self installed, would make me really consider spending that money on something which is going to give me a greater return. Mosselmans been around a long time. But supercharging your engine is the way to go. It's primarily a VW shop to support the G lader supercharge in Corrados, but they sell 3 or 4 different mfg of supercharges. All you have to do is plumb it. www.bahnbrenner.com There is another outfit in Ontario Canada doing this also. www.motronixmotorsport.com
How much bhp is this throttle body and the remapped software package supposed to impart? I assume it's larger, flows more air etc. What is your overall goal with respect to hp at the rear wheels? What made you decide to go with a 740 in lieu of the 750? Your not alone as I've just recently seen my 3rd 750 e38 compared to about 100 740iL/iS. What mods have you done to the exhaust system? What does the iS package include in the drivetrain, not talking suspension or wheels stuff, to make more torque compared to other 740 models.

When Dinan makes a s/c I might go that route, for now it's anything they have though.

Go to www.dinanbmw.com they have charts
showing hp/torque increases.
