BMW Faqs

BMW is going to be changing a few key elements. For years they have been using the high revving and normally aspirated engines in their M models – but this will change. They will be taking a new direction and instead start offering the direct-injection turbocharged power plants in these high performance models.

The automaker stated that because of the tougher environmental emission standards and the increase in manufacturing costs something had to change. It is just too expensive and no longer practical to be producing large amounts of their specially designed V8 and V10 engines that can be found in the M3, M5, and M6 models.

Dinan is known to produce cars that go above and beyond the normal range of performance. Their latest production is the M3 that they equipped with a V8 derived 5 liter V10 engine that can also be found in the M5 and M6 and has won a few awards.

The eight replaced the inline-six on the previous model, but instead of remaining content to say “good job on the extra two cylinders”, Dinan asks what happened to the extra two from the V10. Not that they would have been happy with the V10, either. On that, Dinan pushed and pushed, boring and stroking out the engine’s ten cylinders until they got it up to 5.7 liters and 628 horsepower. Pretty sick, but saddled with the heft of a BMW 5 or 6.

It is true that the M6 has power added to it – but when it comes down to it we could all use more power. BMW knows this and that is why they will be adding on more power to their M division with the new Competition Package.

It will be getting a brand new active suspension with a ride height that has been lowered by up to 10mm in the back and 12mm in the front. It has also been equipped with a new front hood and new wheels.
