Rare BMWs/Performance Edition


This is one of the first Dinan Stage II M5s in Oxford Green sold by Bellevue BMW. The M5s included an upgraded suspension package and improved engine dynamics.  This model is owned by a collector in Portland, Oregon and is one of the first Dinan BMWs ever sold.  The only distinction was a small Dinan badge on the trunk.
Speaking of rare BMWs, in 2010 Bellevue BMW modified three 328i BMWs and six 335i BMWs with upgraded suspension and higher engine output.  All of the 328i models were sedans and Barbera Red in color and all of the 335i models were  Jet Black sedans.  The Performance Edition included a full warranty from BMW of North America and upgraded the horsepower on the 328i from 230 hp to 285 hp and on the 335i from 300 hp to 345 hp.  It improved the 0 - 60 mph performance of the 328i from 6.0 seconds to 5.4 seconds and on the 335i from 5.2 seconds to 4.9 seconds.  The 335i Performance edition included a higher boost and intercooler package.  The 328i package included free flow exhaust manifolds and high performance fuel distribution nozzles.  The package also included an optional black out grille and upgraded suspension with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in place of the OEM run flats and Dinan suspension modifications.  The upgrade to the Performance edition was $7,099 for the 328i and $9,099 for the 335i.
