Tuning, upgrading, Dinan in Netherlands or Germany

[PiM5]

All, what is a good place to tune your engine, get DINAN options (like the ones offered in the US) or get appropriate brakes etc in the Netherlands or Germany?


Thanks for helping

Germany is I think the best place in the world to get options for your M5...

Just do a search under "brakes", "exhaust" etc.

There is no reason to get DINAN parts in Germany - there are many tuners with at least comparable - if not better - knowledge of the M5. Amongst others:

Kelleners
Hartge
AC Schnitzer
Nowack
G-Power
Eisenmann Exhausts
Stoptech brakes
Movit brakes

Do a search on each of the tuner names on this messageboard for experiences by boardmembers with their products. Personally, for engine/suspension work I would at least recommend the first 3 tuners in my list.

I noticed in your public profile you list your M5 has 440hp? What modifications does it already have?

Thanks Kees, this is very helpful!

I do like the air intakes which you see on the M5's running around in the US....

I will check out and see what nice stuff there is to put on my car

The air intakes you see on some of the M5s in the USA are either originally Nowack or - much more common & cheaper - made by the owners. Do a search on this messageboard to find the description how to make them.

The engine has been tuned by the previous owner, do not have the details yet, the car has modified brakes by Brembo, but I do not like them. They feel tacky in stead of secure....

I am not planning on modifying the engine, I think 440 hp is enough for me, I think the bodywork could be more stiff as well as shockabsorbers may give it better curve characteristics...

It's all about planning...

Oh ok, sorry then.

Yes ProDrive had arranged a track day, they do this a few times per year.
