Secondly, BMW has openly stated several times recently is that they want people out of their EMU. Dinan no longer has rights, those ties are long broken I believe.
Even between "tuners".. their stuff is going to have to be different than Dinan, or Racing Dynamic, etc.. That M won't offer themselves... anyway, right?

I believe Dinan did run a factory backed car, recently. If so, then they have garnered BMW respect, for what they do with the cars...Dinan isn't some backwoods hack and ECU job...that V10 stroker kit is a beast, and people have recognized Dinan's work...
What you say, well maybe true, but it was said the same for the GT-R's engine, that no one could crackit and produce Gi-normous amounts of power, due to the fine tuned nature of the cars. Yet, Hennessey has 700+ hp GT-Rs running around, so does HKS, and other JDM tuners...same thing will happen for BMW. Unfortunately, there are some damn good ECu crackers out there that are employed by other tuners, and when you have a turbo engine, whose block and internals can take 100-300+ more hp, you are gonna get those people trying to extract that out of it.
