Lacha’s Dinan E92 M3 4.6L With 18″ ARC-8 Wheels

Article | 03/07/2019 by Tom Maloney

Our customer Lacha had a vision to build a one-of-a-kind track car. Many enthusiasts lobbied for him to get a supercharger but he chose to go another direction for this build. Thanks to the help of SD Autotech (now Carbahn Autoworks), Lacha’s Dinan M3 features a Dinan Stroker 4.6L motor. This car has been personally autographed by Steven Dinan himself – adding an additional 50 horsepower? You can follow his build @m3an_s65 on Instagram.
