Over the past year or so, he\u2019s been doing the media rounds for his new tuning company, CarBahn. As part of those media rounds, he\u2019s shown off his 900 horsepower BMW <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/03\/12\/review-bmw-m8-competition-2023\/\">M8 Competition<\/a> quite a bit. However, this is the first time he actually got behind the wheel himself to show it off and it\u2019s a mighty impressive car.<\/p>\n<p>As with all of Dinan\u2019s cars, his BMW M8 Competition is designed to be comfortable. So even though it\u2019s massively capable, sits significantly lower than the stock car, and is razor sharp, it seems to ride beautifully. Rob Dahm, from Top Gear American Tuned, rode shotgun and seemed immensely impressed with the Dinan-tuned M8\u2019s duality. Dinan also goes into great detail as to how it can handle so well and be so comfortable and, if you\u2019re a car nerd like me, it\u2019s fascinating.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-417537\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m8 competition coupe facelift 09 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m8 competition coupe facelift 09 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-417537\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m8 competition coupe facelift 09 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bmw-m8-competition-coupe-facelift-09.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m8 competition coupe facelift 09 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the power. The standard BMW M8 Competition is already bonkers-fast, thanks to its 617 horsepower 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. Dinan\u2019s M8 Competition makes 900 horsepower at the flywheel, thanks to an incredibly advanced and in-depth software tune but also, more importantly, big heat exchangers that pull the heat out of the engine bay. That allows boost temperatures to stay high without heat robbing the power.<\/p>\n<p>On both the road and the track, Steve Dinan\u2019s BMW M8 Competition is a mega performance car but one that\u2019s equally at home on grand touring-duty as it is on a track. If you take a look at some of the greatest automotive minds of all time, such as Gordon Murray and Colin Chapman, you\u2019ll realize that they don\u2019t make stiff cars. They make firm but compliant cars and that\u2019s exactly what Steve Dinan has done with his new M8 Competition and his company CarBahn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Driving A 900bhp BMW M8 Competition Tuned By Steve Dinan | Top Gear American Tuned ft.
