Steve drops knowledge so fast you need four hands to catch it all.

I absolutely loved this. How amazing to have a legend stop by my shop and blow my mind with knowledge and experience.

YES MORE TECHY TALK PLEASE. Also Rob's face of shock and realization when he learns something new is so goddamn wholesome. I love it.

Super impressed with Steve and his team-was thrilled to see that CarBahn was local and can’t speak highly enough of their S55 software.

Steve Dinan is such a legend!

Crazy how far we’ve come. I remember my dad’s e39 M5 with Dinan S1 pack making less than half this cars horsepower. That car was crazy fast already so imagining this one is absurd.

This looks so good. One of the best looking cars in the BMW range.

Did Steve Dinan just really offer to see Rob's RX7!!!! THATS CRAZY!!!!!! So happy for Rob! That's just insane!

7:49 shot was so good it felt like forza horizon game for a sec

You could totally spin this off into a podcast where you deep-dive with each of these people and get super nerdy. I didn't know of Steve before this and I don't have a BMW, but I feel like I could listen to him talk for hours about pretty much anything. Loving this series Rob, super happy for you and your success.

In my time of working at BMW I've driven a few Dinan tuned cars. One that stood out to be greatly was an M2competition. That car was insane. The handling difference it had vs your regular M2 comp was incredible. And the difference it had to any other car was nothing short of miraculous the way it handled and put the power down while also feeling like a normal car in the interior, I didn't want to get out. I'll always remember that car.

The M8 is one of the most beautiful cars on the planet. Absolutely want it And that's coming from someone that's harsh on BMW design.

Rob really has come a long way. Proud of you my dude.

He solves everything that makes a BMW a BMW. What a guy! Shoutout Rob 🙂

Seeing Steve talk on the Smoking Tire podcast was cool in case you want to see more of him. Glad to see he is getting the nod he deserves! Thanks TG!

Great to see the OG Rob here.

That idea for using the bump-stops as stiff progressive springs to let you get away with softer main springs is goddamn genius

I never knew that Steve dinan was american... As a import boy I always just thought he was German. 👍👍👍 Respect to my American tuners.

The one good thing with this new era, TG is not just about the 3 hosts - other creators are presented and introduced to a wider audience. As a car enthusiast, all I can say is keep this up, please.

Absolutely gorgeous colour, it compliments carbon accents so well.

BMW used to make beautiful looking car at that time... The M2 ,M3, the M5 and the M8 were so good looking

Wished he’d shown that suspension and take a look at that bump stop 😍

My mate has a M850i and that's fast enough, can only imagine this beast.

To have Steve Dinan offer to help tune your RX7 based on his race car, is world shattering. That will be special.

First came across Rob on Hoonigan. Man is genius level with it. Great to see him again!

Steve seems like an awesome dude. What I love about this show is the absolute, not fake enthusiasm. It's what excites me about cars (and bikes). Just rad. Nice work man.

Dudes a legend. He’s a true expert. Anyone with a mechanical mind and an internet connection can build a 1000hp car in 2022. Dinan has orders of magnitude more expertise. Awesome vid.

TG American Tuned is an awesome channel! I was not the biggest TG America fan, nor the current TG, but this American Tuned comes at it from a different angle and it works so well. Love the knowledge and passion that comes through. Absolutely well done.

Finally some good content from Top Gear again.

Thanks for sharing your conversations with Mr. Dinan. A true gentleman. The car was super cool too!

What a absolute legend.

I've been going to Carbahn for years... Steve and his team know what they are doing.

Brooklyn Grey is one of the best colors bmw has released. That car is perfect.

Steve Dinan = Legend

Dahm getting help from Steve is gonna be amazing, can't wait to see some of that

Steve is a true engineering genius in the tuning world. Great episode

Dahm and Dinan. Two legends in their own respect!

Rob D I just wanna say I'm SUPER SUPER PUMPED to see you on TG my bro.. you absolutely deserve the opportunity and recognition bc you have worked so hard and fun to watch. Congratulations RD I'm super proud of you ( I know that probably doesn't me an much to you but just being honest) I totally hope to see you on more TG shows and hopefully get to so you and Chris working together

I absolutely admire your attitude and perspective!

i LOVE this series with Rob Dahm, keep them coming!!

Great video! This is what made Top Gear great, true car enthusiast talking about cars

I don’t get star struck easily but Steve would be someone that does that to me.

these type of tuning philsophies are my favourite

OMG, what an awesome M8, Steve Dinan is a legend !!

These guys are a perfect fit, they could talk about all the crazy meticulous tuning and stuff they do to their rides for days.

We used progressive bump stops on hydrolastic Minis in the 70’s as part of the springing.

So stoked they picked Rob

Loving this show. Rob is a sick guy, been following his channel for years. Any chance we can get the hoonipig on this show? The hoonipig is definitely one of the most insane builds I have ever seen. Also would love to see suicide xm3!

Living legend. Great job having him on.

The Dinan name has been held in a place of respect, possibly reverence in my life since the late 20th century. (how's that for hot air?) I've had a few BMWs over the years, and turned to Dinan for my tuning needs. Always thrilled with my purchases. I think I first bought a Dinan product for an E30 M3 I got to enjoy for 10 years. Tracked the crap out of it in NorCal at Sears Point mostly and just loved it. Your's is a new name to me Rob Dahm, but one heck of a job here in this package. The Top Gear brand is the Shiznit, so I ain't surprised. Well, except for Clarkson. What a sour grouchy misanthrope is he. But I love the bloke anyway. lol

What an absolutely gorgeous car. Dream car for sure.

I love that yellow diablo at the back... ❤

Steve is just such a cool knowledgeable guy what an experience to spend time with him thanks for sharing!

Man that was such a great vid. I i felt like i went along for the ride just hearing how thankful you were to get the chance to drive his car, tht was a really cool vid.

I love the content. Great decision Rob/top gear.

Jeeeez that thing looks mean, so cool how intuitive that bump rubber thing is too.

Really nice content, no urge to fast forward. A+!

That's the definition of very well rounded. I cannot imagine what Steve can do with a lightweight one like the new M4 CSL. What exactly is the suspension?

Love this series🔥🔥

Awesome video, man. Love your humble attitude and Motorsport excitement! 🤙🏾

Steve is an awesome guy! Also robs doing amazing with these episodes 🤟🏼

Steve Dinan is so knowledgeable yet so humble. What a legend

Absolute legend, that car seems insanely sorted.

this was the best ep so far . especially at 7:50

Such an awesome experience! And I totally wanna see Rob take the 4 Rotor over Steve's shop, that would be awesome!

Unbelievable project 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Steve Dinan is an absolute legend! I have been reading about his tuned BMWs since the Car n' Driver articles in the late 80s. If those around him have any sense, they will hire a videographer to follow Steve around, during 'working hours' (genius doesn't sleep, so this might end up being 16 hr days!) to record the practical knowledge (that's called wisdom), the experiences and the vision of this automotive pioneer... so that this invaluable info n' experience isn't lost forever, but preserved. Well, that would get super annoying for Steve, without a doubt... so maybe, just 9am til 6pm, Mon-Fri, for a year. Yeah.

Bro i thought rob was a feature, is Rob Dahm the new host of top gear?!!!! 🤯

Great video and once again SOOO AWESOME that it includes rotaries in it. Keep doing your thing Rob, we are loving it!!

Exactly, first mod I did to my car was to install whiteline street/racing suspension, best decision I made. Power performance came later in stages.

Remember when Scott Pruett/Memo Rojas and Ganassi was winning the Rolex series? That was Steve's engines...then Steve Dinan and Chris MacNaughton @CarBahn walked me through my M2C S55 6sp Tune (570hp/574tq)-Amazing reliable power. I did have to upgrade to 295/265 on BBS wheels to assist with traction. My E46 M3 6sp also has their suspension and exhaust. They are legends in hi performance perfection.

the m8 is a future a classic sure. Absolutely stunning a car and lovely geeky video

I love the M6. This car is a beauty

Came for car content and got it with a new way to look at mankind's creativity.

Seams like a very nice guy. Making Rob think?

Rob Dahm killing it as a host

dinan one of great old time tuner but so underrated until now

I needed a big diaper on a test drive with Steve offered in a stage 3 M5 E39, Steve hit 185+ mph on a Scotts Valley back roads, I was scared and sold! Glad your back Steve....let's do it again!

Awesome seeing and hearing from Steve. I have the Stage 1 software on my 2003 BMW Z4!

We both met heros on this video. ❤️M8

The BMW M8 Competition has a raw feel that complements its sporty abilities. It's a rebel but also a law-obedient citizen. It's louder and more aggressive than in the past, but something is missing here. From a dynamic point of view, the car isn't that different from the M-tuned M850i xDrive. They have too many things in common, and Jeremy Clarkson thinks it's a problem.

He experienced the touch of a BMW.. That other guy is an absolute expert at what he does for sure

Absolutely amazing episode

WOW AWESOME VIDEO AMAZING FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Car people geeking out.

i could listen to those two geek out about suspension for hours

Great sir salute 👏 awesome

That dinan is really a good looking mustang

6:10...wait for it...... ..Smooth👊🏼

M8 competition ❤

Finally get to see the Man

imagine the witchcraft steve could work on the 4 rotor suspension

The Man... The Myth... The Legend... STEEEEEEEEEEVE.... DIIIIIIIII-NAAAAAAAAAAN! 🏎️💨🚓 I had an E36 with a Dinan tuned ECU pulled from a junkyard. 🤓 I had to fiddle around with the OnBoard Computer to make it run properly (wrong fuel curve/displacement size), but that was the fastest Natural Aspirated engine I've ever driven, hands down. 💯

I love my carbahn tuned m8. It is great!

another banger hosted by Rob Dahm

saw this M8 on hoonigan this vs. that, absolutely gorgeous and stupid fast

He was in Ontario, CA I recognize the area crazy local🙏🏽 that’s really cool

Rob Dahm makes TG worth watching.

is this an introduction that Rob is TG now???? im just finding out 😄
