I spoke with someone at Dinan recently (can't remember his name), and he said they put their emphasis on kits for racier cars (e.g., M3, M5, Z4, etc.) because that's where the most demand for their products comes from. SUV's are fit in when they have time, but they don't sell nearly as many SUV kits, so they aren't as high a priority.

He parenthetically added something to the effect, "Why would anybody want 450hp in an SUV anyway - it's not like you're gonna take it to the track and race it!"

Obviously, he doesn't understand those of us who love our X5's AND love power!
