Default APR tuned S4 vs. DINAN tuned M3...

no we didn't race, I would have massacred him as I have in the past. Drove my buddies 1999 DINAN M3 (everything but blower, same as my previous car)and have a quick observation. The M3 is arguably more fun to drive, loud as F*@%$, more agile, gets more attention, fun to do a burnout at a light with ease, slide around a corner... I almost scratched my head as to why I sold mine until I realized... it is as loud as f@#%, gets more attention, no traction, slides in corners... plus, at the end of the night, my car felt so effortless to drive.... and it is obviously faster by a ton after driving back to back. in other news, traded my boxster for a boxster S, yipee!

Default correct...

so far so good. north / south motion has been the most noticable difference, stock, it was attrocious, much more bearable now. as far as body roll goes, improved, but still not where it should be (stock M3 feels more stiff). for the money, I think this is a great option though, and cosmetically, no complaints... ride height is great.
