You don't think the buyers would have seen the books and then agreed on a price that suited their evaluation?

The Dinan name and bmw connection is valuable in itself and obviously the buyers thought they could continue/improve/grow the business they were buying.

It was probably a combination of things. Tuning has become a commodity product and OE's are offering their own performance products via after-sales.

In addition he wanted to concentrate on racing and it's unfortunate that the arrangement didn't work out for him.

At Dinans age (64??) I would hate to have to start from scratch. Hopefully this is some sort of "semi-retirement" thing.
