Dinan Development Car Needed (F80 M3 / F82 M4)

Dinan is in need of a development F80 M3 or F82 M4.

Car will HAVE to have M Adaptive Suspension (electronic shocks) and a fully stock suspension to be viable for testing hence the need for a new development car. You will be compensated in various free upgrades.

Local (Bay Area) cars are preferred and as unmodded / slightly modded as possible.

Please consult the development car webpage for detailed information and too reach out to our engineering team to volunteer or PM me.

Thanks!

UPDATE: From the outpouring of responses I am pretty sure we have a few candidates now already lined up so no need to keep inquiring at this point. I will update this post again if that changes though.

Do you need the car for the full three weeks? Do you provide any alternate transportation?

I was told by Engineering, "a couple weeks". I deciphered that to be 3 weeks in my head. =)

We have provided loaner cars in the past so it all depends on what kind of agreement that is worked out between you and the development team. If interested reach out to developmentcars@dinancars.com and just notate vehicle specs w/ last 7 of the VIN and your contact information to get the ball rolling.

How has this not yet turned into a series of wild guesses as to what's being developed?

What a civilized bunch you all are!

I would guess some form of suspension, since they need a stock vehicle to base line from. Also possible chassis modification tuning, like sway bars, etc.

Lucky you Jerome, all stock (still, I'm guessing)... I've even offered to have ptech swap my H&R's out back to stock on my own dime. Who knows, maybe they'll take both yours and mine to have an F80 and an F82 ;-)

I'm glad I retained driving rights on my E82 when I sold it to my buddy.

Could these be the fabled camber plates that have been mildly talked out in a few threads before?

First post updated. We have had enough outpouring of willing people there is no need for additional submissions. I will update the post if we end up still needing additional cars. Thanks everyone.
