Put on you learning caps: Steve Dinan is in the house. Steve is a legend. His fast BMWs and quality parts helped him cross over from tuner to nearly-household name. He has raced cars, managed race teams, and now he's back to doing what he does best: building really fast German cars at his new company, Carbahn Autoworks. He's a brilliant guy that will teach you how to modify your car correctly. Listen up.

That as Zacks role on the channel grows everyone's respect for you as a business owner does. You treat your people well and it shows
I’ve noticed Zach playing a much bigger role in the show in the past few months, and I think it really makes for a much more dynamic show!
Has been very underutilized. Car reviews are nails too. And the random joke drops that he peppers in.
After listening to Steve, I cannot imagine why anyone would use a tune from anyone else on their vehicle. Getting Carbahn Stage 1 on my M2 Comp in October and have never felt better about a mod. Side note; I love hearing Steve talk about tuning. This kind of knowledge is only attainable through years of experience and it is very rare to find someone with the knowledge and the ability to speak about it in a way that makes sense. Great show!
The e46 m3 tunes were absolutely garbage. Literally did nothing but increase throttle response
Because the majority of the people who tune do so with the understanding that it's a "pay to play" situation, and beyond the "warranty" that Carbahn/Dinan/APR offer, the bang for the buck simply is not there compared to the competition.

Custom tunes will more than likely be better than Carbahn. If you live in California and hate your life it might work, but you can't possibly think that a canned tune produced in California is going to be the best thing for everyone in the rest of the US.
I would love to have gotten one of his tunes, but Carbahn does not offer tunes for the G20 330i. I really wish Carbahn would offer custom tuning for BootMod3, but that is likely against their overall business interests. I would be willing to pay more for a tune that combines performance, drivability, and reliability.
Steve Dinan is amazing! His obsession with engineering details and real world drivability place him at the top of the tuning industry.
Saying he’s a wealth of knowledge is a massive understatement. Thankfully there are people like him in the industry that care about real performance.
Even though I only caught about 40% of what Steve was putting down, it's always fascinating listening to experts of a particular field.
I seriously don't have the attention span to sit and watch through ANY hour+ long podcasts, but this discussion was just so interesting and intriguing I had to listen to it all. Steve Dinan is the real fucking deal. So much knowledge and wisdom. Best podcast I've ever watched.
Caught this part of this live, but watching again. I vote you guys do like Spike and unofficially officially add Dinan as your 3rd man. Zack I hope you didn't let Steve leave without taking those KW's for your M3
Steve "crappy cuel in their far" Dinan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @25:53
haha…you caught that too! 😅
Same 😂
Just watched this for the second time, Dinan is a legend and after hearing him talk he’s a really funny and thoughtful person
How does this show influence your mod plans?
It doesn’t ! Stock suspension and engine. Because they work and are better then the tires and brakes will allow. I just spent $2,200 on wheels and tires. Next up is brakes. I loved the quote of 920 HP without catalytic converters and 909 with them! Keep your cars smog legal and everyone wins!
Further emphasizes the importance of a good engine management system & tune
I bought a car with the cat already removed, this reinforces my wanting to put them back on, at least a high flow one. Little difficult because it's aftermarket turbocharged, so it's not just a part swap, but the emissions and the smell is just so obnoxious
Having just invested in the software and obd wifi adaptor for my F06 from what I suspect is one of the companies Steve is referring too I'm concerned...and will proceed with caution. Great show TST
What I’m hearing is, if I get rid of my cat and get a new tune I can have 1000 hp.
Steve is captivating, his knowledge and passion really comes across here. Great show!
I could listen to Mr. Dinan forever. His understanding of German engineering is insane and I love it
These science of cars guys are my favorite part of TST 🤘
Listened to the podcast, gonna have to watch again 👌🏻👍
Same here, and i was there! - ZK
@@TheSmokingTirePodcast lol get those shocks modded 🤘🏼
This guy is a mad scientist! Love it, the knowledge base in his head is incredible. I can't handle this guy!
So TRUE!!!!
Loved this episode and brought back fond memories of working at Dinan in 1986 as a parts driver in High school. Steve is amazing!
Great episode! Both of you did a great job interviewing him. I could listen to him talk for hours. Masterclass in making a car handle. Zack was very composed when Steve offered to build out the suspension on his E46. I would have been up and out of the studio getting my keys to hand to him. Take my 987 Base and 10 grand Steve. Take me to Nirvana
There are some people in the tuning world who are all talk and then there are people like Steve who back up the talk. The man knows his shit.
I'd like to understand the 9 people who thumbed this down. Maybe they were looking for a cooking show ? This is the most insightful podcast on tuning, it's awesome...
Steve Dinan is a living legend! If I had an M5 his shop would be my first and only stop in tuning.
Awesome! Was really waiting for this one. Thanks Zack and Matt!
Lmao, some poor guy writes in asking for advice about his E39 M5, and Dinan tells him the car is trash due to the mileage, needs a full engine rebuild
That part was unbelievable lmao
Yeah, that was me :-(
Awesome Podcast for the car world. Thanks guys!
Listened to the entire thing live, can't wait to listen to it again and catch all the little gems! 🎅🏼
I was looking forward to this one after the live went down, just missed it. Zack if your reading , imo you do a wonderful job .. you have a talent on the boards.
Thanks Dad.
I was attempting to be polite and complimentary. I don’t quite understand the sarcasm. Regardless, big fan of the production quality and will stay a supporter. All the best.
@@xprettylightsx I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be sarcastic. It's a joke, like saying that you are actually his dad boosting his confidence.
@@xprettylightsx it's a joke bro lmao
Great podcast! Please enable auto subtitles.
This was one of the best episodes.
Great guest!
I only heard part of this live. So happy to hear all of it. I hope he has an open invitation to come back anytime.
I will always make time to listen to Steve. So humble, he speaks with such confidence when we explains things because you know he put in the time to figure things out. No one word of bullshit ever.
I think the M5 owners modify their cars, because 1) they are typically mid aged guys with families and they need a 4 door car for all purpuse use but they want to do balls out for time to time, and 2) because there are more M5s than M6s or M8s by a factor of 100, 3) and oh, there are more parts available for the aftermarket for an M5, so that would be the all around platform to build from! Such a great podcast, and Steve Dinan is such a industry expert, passionate aftermarket guy, engineering expert, and a great cool guy! And Yeah, I'll likely end up with a couple of Carhbahn parts too in the near future.
This was great. Loved the insight on lower and stiffer doesn't mean better handling.
I had to listen several times to be sure, but I'm sure my engine wouldn't run right either if I put crappy cuel in the far. @25:52
As an engineering student this was amazing to listen!
Steve is such a fascinating guy, an absolute genius! I don't know how some car manufacturer hasn't given him a truck full of money to hire him to develop their cars.
I appreciate tuners like Steve Dinan, with the knowledge and proper intelligence, to understand the complex relationships between variables, that are involved in tuning. What scares me about BootMod3, is the questionable source and amount of R&D that went into the tunes. I just hope I haven't gotten myself into something that's going to cost me an engine rebuild (even just sticking to BootMod3 OTS tunes).
This has been the best car nerd podcast by you guys. Awesome and thank you
Feel like Steve and Gale Banks need to get into this room together.
Agreed!
one of the best guests ever. so much useful knowledge
Steve Dinan is always a good guest!
Damn this guy really knows his stuff. Interesting hearing about the shortcuts some shops take in an effort to get things done the "simple" way
So refreshing to hear a proper expert and car nerd talking cars and tuning. General car talk is fine but this is something people should listen to if they are really into cars.
Was so good live I'm back for the upload, and tradecraft farms add 😂
Steve is super interesting. Kept hearing his name floated about with the cars brought to tst tests but had no idea he was that much of a deal. This interview made it crystal clear. He knows his shit and makes perfect sense with his vision of how tuning should be. Glad to hear his quick take on the political side of things also. Excellent information and insights throughout the interview. Kudos.
Really enjoyed this - totally agree with Dinan's philosophy and approach to tuning...
Nolan Siegel...holy shit. What a mentorship he's had!
1:13:33 Such a smart discussion and description of the pointlesss nature of downpipes
Being in the BMW groups ppl are always taking smack about DINAN because their parts and tunes dont make as much power but listening to Steve tell why he holds things back it all makes sense.
Thanks for a great interview with the legend. So much great information shared here.
Zac just hand over the credit card ! Steve is going to give you the best car ever for not silly money !!!
It's so easy listening to this guy talk!
currently studying the map of reservoirs around santa clara county...
Zach, get the suspension. Think of the resale and awesomeness.
Amazing discussion and really got into the suspension setup/bump stop discussion.
DINAN is the only one I'd let touch my Bimmers. Steve is a really cool guy.
Steve's shop has been working on my M3's for over 20 years, including a track E36, an E46 and my current E92. Great shop. He even does the mods for my son's MK7.5 GTI. He's been trying to talk me into the 4.6L S65 stoker motor for my M3, and I've gotten a ride in a car with one installed - insanely fun. Now, I just need to get the wife on board.......
man, with all respect, why the hell would you ask your wife whether you can spend money you earned on something you love? If you could maintain the lifestyle of driving M3's for 20 years and also racing them, I am pretty sure your wife and family doesn't struggle, just buy whatever you want. Unless she's the breadwinner of course.
It's better if the better half is on board as well. Steve Dinan didn't buy an E46 because his wife said he had too many cars. Be like Steve.
Steve Dinan to BMW is the John Lund of the Ford world... don't desensitize the Knock sensors use better fuel!!!... this is truth!. These guys have vetted the file so much it's perfection..
now that makes more sense than anything I have heard harmnics traveling back through the rotating assembly
Great podcast, thanks. So sad that i haven't followed it online to ask a question ).
Dinan makes solid products, have their short shifter and rear sway bar on my e39 M5
Holy crap! I’m not sure if I have gotten smarter or feel more like a dummy after listening to this? #AutomotiveGenius
1:04:36 So much great knowledge
If Zach gets the hookup from Steve, we need a build vid to go over the part choices. Really curious to learn about how to choose springs, spring rates, etc from a professional
If anyone is wondering who Steve Dinan was referring to around 22minute mark it is BM3
Great listen. Dinan is a smart dude
really enjoyed this episode!
26:50 putting dat cool in the far bruh
I was hoping I’d find this gem in the comments 🤪
At work, hitting my pen, listening to the Tradecraft Farms Ad on repeat
You know there's a second part of the show where we talk to people about cars? Lol
Smartest guy in tuning
Steve seems to have bit of a type A personality. Funky dude. Loved the pod as always
So how do we get this suspension recipe for the e46 m3??? Amazing episode!
Steve puts a "carbahn" tax on his cars. well played, sir.
Epic video...such great info
I had a feeling this was going to be a good episode. I was not disappointed
I cant wait to see what he does with porsches. Especially gt3s and gt4s. Maybe optimize the suspension more for the street, because a lot of reviews find the 992 gt3 too stiff on the road.
Dinan really needs to get into tuning ND Miatas to see where he ends up on the suspension design. Cause clearly stock is way too soft, but people go 100% the other way.
Dope.
Nothing like listening to someone who knows what the hell they are talking about. I miss my Dinan Tuned 435ix drive!!!!
Starts at 8:30
To anyone who watched the show before Aug 18, sorry about the 9 ad breaks. TH-cam auto placement went ham.
What a rad dude, this was cool as shit
can't wait to see that m2 comp!
The new s58 is the Goat
53:14 So cool
steve looks like gordon‘s younger brother lol
Welp... love for the S65 until the last ~10 min. LOL Still a great engine in a great car!
Legends chatting!
bootmod forum kids won’t ever get it
Spec E46 shout out! nice
Some would say 7 minutes of advertisements qualifies as paid sponsorship 🙄
I'm curious what oil he uses in his M8.
What engine is Matt talking about at 53:40? Is it a production engine or a race engine?
Please tell me Steve Dinan is going to do a package for the r232 sl amgs.
This guy ❤️
anybody know where i can get that porsche model on Matt's desk? or what the right key words are to even search for them?
Great video
45:35 - learning moments
Any hints as to what flash tunes he’s referring to? MHD, or bootmod? Was going to tune my 440i with MHD but a little hesitant now.
Mhd is great I'm in it in my 340. You'll like it
Literally my same thought... running MHD OTS map and I am just like yikes. Would this mean that the logs on MHD aren't totally accurate if they are tricking the sensors?
Game Changer!
Not a bmw guy... But want to buy one now just to do a Dinan mod
