OWN THE BEST HANDLING BMW IN THE WORLD WITH A DINAN SUSPENSION Car & Driver on the Dinan M-6: "The needle races past 60 mph. The on-ramp ahead curves tightly away, but your foot stays flat to the floor, the turbo-charged engine screaming with the hard-edged bass of a highly tuned six-cylinder in full cry. As the sign suggesting a ramp speed of 25 mph flashes past, you bend into the turn, and your passenger audibly pleads for divine protection. You feel the immense lateral loadings build as your speed rises, but the car clings to the road with no dramatics. As you merge onto the highway at more than 80 mph, you look over at the disbeliev ing face in the right seat. Welcome to the world of the Dinan Turbo BMW M-6."
