+1.

Speaking from personal experience as I have had a Dinan car, some products are well engineered, others are rebranded parts off the BMW bin (e.g. E39 M5 short shifter which is nothing other than the E46 M3 shifter with a 'D' logo on it). Some products are simply terrible, like the exhaust for the 1M that was just released a few weeks ago after over a yr longs wait - it requires chopping/cutting your stock exhaust and welding theirs on, worse of a solution than if you were to walk into a Meineke. And all 3 categories: good/bad/ugly, are priced extremely high.

And their warranty may keep you warm and fuzzy at night, until it is time to test it. Many horror stories where customers have been stuck between Dinan and BMW and have had to pay out of pocket as each points the finger opposite way. Definitely better bang for the buck elsewhere IMO.
