Dave-
Last Wednesday I took delivery of a '97 Dinan modified 850ci. It has the Stage III Suspension, Free Flow Exhaust, Hi-Flow Intake Manifolds, 3.15:1 LSD Rear End, and 18" BMW M Parallel Wheels. According to the Dinan literature that came with the car, it is putting out 365 bhp and 391 torque on the dyno, which is pretty impressive. I think the combination of the increased power and different rear-end have greatly improved the acceleration and overall performance of the car. Also, the combination of the Dinan suspension and 18" wheels/tires makes the car handle far superior to stock and eel much lighter than it actually is. Hope this helped...
