Super
Cool and Super Rare --- BMW Dinan ISR-3
In
1998 James Bond, Agent 007 zoomed across the silver screen in the
Blockbuster Bond Movie GoldenEye. He was driving a Blue BMW
Z3 Roadster.
This
Estoril Blue Roadster BMW Z3 is the ultimate performance version of
that car, an BMW/Dinan ISR-3 Roadster. Less than 100 BMW Dinan ISR-3
were ever produced. I am told that the actual number was 46. ISR-3
roadster stands for Intercooled Supercharged Roadster. Each ISR-3
made is unique, they are numbered. Each has a prominent number plate
under the hood. And this one bears the number “07”... Totally
Cool...
The
BMW Dinan ISR-3 is an impressive refined street legal race car fully
endorsed by BMW, this Roadster is as cool as it gets. I remember
reading about this Dinan modified M roadster years ago, Even today
this is a super fast car, that is able to run from 0-60 in the low 4
second range which is in the same league as The BMW (E92) M3. But as
an intercooled supercharged Roadster it is just so much cooler.
Dinan
really took the Z-3/M Roadster with it's race bred engine, to the
next level by re-working the entire car with the most impressive
upgrades made to the engine. Dinan chose to use a supercharged and
intercooled combination on the factory 3.2 liter BMW inline-6 . The
ECU was also re-flashed to accommodate the new Vortech Supercharger
giving the ISR-3 a huge boost in horsepower.
The
suspension was upgraded with a custom set of Dinan/Koni shocks, stiffer anti-roll bars and a huge carbon fiber and alloy strut-tower
brace. The differential was also replaced with a LSD unit that put
more power to the ground during cornering.
The
interior was finished in a two-tone black and blue color with the
Dinan logo embroidered into the headrest. A few gauges have been
added like the VDO boost and water guage that are mounted to look
like factory pieces.
The
wheels look like they’ve been sourced from Fikse and rebranded
with a Dinan logo. They are staggered with the rears wider than the
front and both having a nice step lip.
Dinan
is known for producing super high quality O.E. like products and even
with the extreme power upgrade of the ISR 3 it still carried a full
factory warranty. All the upgrades came at a hefty price which nearly
doubled the base price of the M roadster.
The
ISR-3 Package, which stands for Intercooled, Supercharged Roadster, adds virtually every high-performance upgrade that Dinan offered for
the E36/7 M Roadster. The S52 3.2L inline-six engine now features a
Dinan/Vortech belt-driven supercharger that delivers 10lbs of boost, with a Dinan air-to-air intercooler to prevent heat soak. To best
utilize the added power from the supercharger, the engine also
features Dinan performance software, high-flow intake, high-flow
throttle bodies, high-flow fuel injectors and a low-pressure Dinan
Free Flow exhaust system. The 5-speed manual transmission is also
upgraded with a lightweight clutch and the OEM rear end has been
replaced by a 3.38 limited slip differential. The car rolls on
lightweight 18″ Dinan wheels and the suspension has been improved
with an aluminum & carbon fiber strut tower brace, Koni dampers, performance springs and larger sway bars. All said and done, this M
Roadster pumps out incredible horse power and torque in a 3, 100lb
package that will rocket to 60mphin the low 4s and pulls .91gs on the
skid pad and touch a top speed near 160mph.
Factory
features of this M Roadster include a premium Harman/Kardon audio
system, heated sport seats, optional AM/FM radio with CD player, a
sport steering wheel, power-operated soft top, roll bars and air
conditioning.
And
this one is number “07”... James Bonds licensed to kill 007
number and Totally Cool.
