@BMWdude
Only some dinan parts were used. The Dinan engine was desigined for DP rules (lower revs smaller restrictor among other) which is not suitable for GT3. The engine was built by alpina. Btw this was after the super charged one mentioned in the article…

I don’t get why everybody hates Bangle. I find his works as modern classics and the whole Bangle-era as a necessary leap to the new millenium from the blandness of the 90s.

And the engine was built by Steve Dinan based on the Daytona Prototype Engine that has won BMW 3 Championships.

I generally really like the quality of writing on this site, but just have to point out that whom is misused constantly throughout this article- it is not simply a replacement for “who,” but rather has to do with whether the who/whom in question is the subject or object of a sentence. Think he vs. him: where you would say “he,” use who. Whom=him

Ex. “Adrian van Hooydonk, whom later took the throne as chief designer for BMW in 2009.” HE took the throne, or HIM took the throne? It should be he, so use ‘who’
