Southern California was noted as a particular problem area and Dinan was also mentioned as one of the tuners no longer in favor.

This can still be classified as informed speculation, but I am certainly taking it as a word to the wise.

That sucks, I was going to place my order sooner but am getting married in June so I just got around to placing my order last week. My dealer was pushing Dinan on me after I asked about it directly. They never once said it would void my warranty, in fact they invited me to track days and everything once I got my 135i and told me that I as long as I went Dinan either BMW or Dinan would take care of everything.

A little worried, but oh well I guess. :iono:
