Dinan chips M3?

["Charles N. Horton" <carolus@xxxxxxx>]

     I know the Shark chip is the list's favorite. But my dad isn't on the
list and he's more comfortable buying a chip from one of the big tuners.
He's currently planning on Dinan for his '97 M3/4. Has anyone had
experience with the Dinan E36 M3 chip? How do the other big tuners
(ACSchnitzer, etc.) compare? What's the price difference?
     And is the chip a good first step as far as a mechanical upgrade? What
should the first mechanical (i.e., not driving school) upgrade be? Will he
even notice the chip on an un-modified car? I had thought he should get a
short-shifter first and play with the exhaust.

Charles.
