There are simply too many variables at each machine, between machines, and even between vehicles, for it to be anything other than interesting trivia.
He also talked a lot about mods, the pro's and cons of each. A very cool discussion. You get the sense that Dinan are after doing a real, fulsome upgrade/mod, not just slapping on parts for gonzo effect.

Steve Dinan is a tool.... imho. If I had the will to search for them, I would post up some of his letters/statements that have been made over the last 4 years concerning the N54 engine. He is a salesman. He sells a product for 5 times what it's worth. His reasoning being this guise of long periods of R&D and this joke of a warranty. There is a reason BMW has made it a point to cut ties with them.
