FCP Euro Kits

dinan-2

Late last week we released a new product offering called Dinan Engineering. Dinan has been in the BMW tuning business 1979. One thing to note about Dinan is their products are 50 state legal and do not void BMW's manufacturer warranty but Dinan also includes their own warranty which essentially covers the entire car. Dinan has replaced entire engines in the case of failures to keep customers happy whether it was a Dinan related failure or not.

Dinan is a highly regarded tuner who builds racing engines for BMW sponsored race teams as well as high performance street cars. Dinan has built a name for itself through their exceptional products and the degree of engineering that goes into their products.

Why is this relevant?

For one, Dinan was exclusively offered through BMW dealerships and private shops and installers. Dinan never really promoted or sold their product offering online and rather left it to the discretion of brick and mortar dealers to sell and install their products. The distribution was based around what became known as Dinan Centers. There are approximately 180 authorized Dinan dealers in North America. This distribution channel while effective in showcasing products to customers of new BMW's is not ideal for those who don't want to go to the dealer or go to an independent shop to modify their cars.

Most performance enthusiasts, and the avid DIYer don't necessarily want to go to a dealership and be hassled by a salesman trying to up sell a tune or an exhaust.

FCP Euro is the FIRST authorized online retailer of Dinan products. No one else online at this moment is authorized to sell or distribute their products at any level.

You can now purchase Dinan products from FCP and install them yourself or have a shop do the install for you.Additionally, many of you have probably already heard of the Dinan Badge. This badge is only given out to customers who have installed enough parts on their car (each part is worth a certain amount of points) to earn it.  For any Dinan purchase, FCP will automatically notify Dinan of your purchase allowing you to accrue points towards your badge.

Product Offering

We currently offer the full assortment of parts from Dinan including an array of cold air intakes, intercoolers, suspension parts such as sway bars and lowering springs,camber plates, etc.

One product that Dinan offers is called DINANTRONICS. This is a piggyback that plugs into the factory computer and modifies the dynamics of how the engine performs and increases power output substantially over stock. Dinan tunes are designed to make real world power while retaining the factory feel of the car. A good example of this software program is for the F10 M5's and F06 F12 F13 M6's. A stage 2 tune takes an already very high powered car (560 horespower) and can tune it to over 700 horespower while retaining the factory drivability and manufacturer warranty. The power levels increase as other modifications are added such as cold air intakes and exhaust parts.
