Dinan Upgrades.

Anyone w/ dinan conversion xperiance?
Dinan is developing conversions for x6.
Also , i've noticed since the arrival of the ttv8, the front wheelwell black liners have open slots for the oil cooler & brakes, but dealers dont seem to have the slotted liners in their catalogue yet for the xdrive 50i. ( open crosshatched vents where the foglites sit are available)
I'd like to convert the solid frt wheel liners on my x35i, for better brake cooling b4 i do the dinan conversion, when they have conversions ready later this spring.
Any ideas ?

If my memory serves me right, the 35i has covers that are controlled by the electronic and opens them when required. It keeps them closed to reduce the drag. The 50i does not have that feature, so basically they are always open (the cross hatch pattern as you described them).

I talked with Dinan yesterday actually. They said they've been looking for a 35i and 50i to do development on for 3 months now. I'm hoping someone comes along SOOON!. They said they expect to get around 80-90hp more and 100-120tq-ft from the 50i. I sure hope so because that IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!! I would lend them my car but they need it for a few weeks and I don't have another car to drive right now.
