Dinan S3-R Build by ilikebmxbikes

Hello all,



This thread is to document my Dinan S3-R project. I just purchased this car off this forum in the FS section and will be continuing the build.



I am no stranger to the s65 and can say that the 4.6L is absolutely a different beast. It has everything I love about an NA s65 but a whole lot more torque. I will be bringing the car to LA to have Mike_Benvo protune it. No doubt Dinan makes great products but they do tend to tune very conservatively for their street cars. Mike tuned / coded my S65 1M clone and I have no doubt when we get this thing on a dyno, he can make the most out of it's potential as well as code in some nice features.



My main goal with this car is just to make a nice weekend track toy / street build. It is to accompany my 1 series so it wont be as hardcore ( or so I hope).



I will be releasing a lot of information on the build and tuning. I know there has been a big lack of information on stroker dynos so hopefully I can contribute some useful information.



Some photos of the car before it shipped down to CA











unboxing











Immediately after the truck unloaded the car. I drove it to Performance Technic and we put these on her. They are temporary until my HRE's are mounted. Waiting on TPMS.

Looking for e90 jet black driver side fender

I'm looking for an e90 driver side fender, jet black. Let me know if you have one, thanks in advance. I'm located in arizona but If you're in a different state or too far we can work something in regards to shipping.

Check engine light.

Here we go, BMW TT = Fuel sending issues.



Before my 1200 mile service I had the check engine symbol showing once. No other messages in I-drive and the vehicle status showing all systems OK.



I had the dealer look for a fault code at the service and they found something to the extent that the fuel mix was to lean. Some reset was performed. Well now it's back and seems persistent. Sigh.



The car drives ok though with smooth power delivery and what feels like full power. I'll leave it for a couple of days and see if it clears.

Winter wheel finish

Looking for opinions on what finish would look best on a set of winter wheels for a 228i M Sport mineral grey among the following:



- machined with black accents

- machined with anthracite accents

- silver painted

- titanium gunmetal



There are so many options at tirerack and I am trying to narrow them down.

Thanks for the feedback.

Coding in Baltimore, MD

Anybody in Baltimore can code? :bow: Really could use an amber delete, etc.

Scratch

How much do you think it'll cost to fix this?

I came out of the grocery store to find this.
