In this case, the guy had a really tastefully modded F30 and got Dinan to preserve the warranty ... oops. So last November he pulled out from a parking lot after lunch, pulled up to a light, stopped and the car died. Long story short, blown engine. and this is not a guy who money shifted or drives crazy.
BMWNA said because he had Dinan, no warranty.
Dinan said they'd cover it if BMWNA sends them a letter stating that Dinan caused the problem - which, of course, BMWNA would be fucking crazy to do so without that Dinan is refusing repairs.
So his car has been sitting broken since November.
In any event, albeit anecdotally, that's like 30 Dinan loses to 0 wins. I've only heard of Dinan honoring repairs online - with all of the people I run with there are zero people who've gotten Dinan to honor the warranty.
And remember, I live 40 minutes from Dinan HQ. And in an ironic turn of events, this particular guy knows Steve Dinan who told him in the old days he'd have fixed it no problem, but the new management doesn't see things the same way.

I've been wondering where the hell you've been! Any pics? Yeah, I thought we could do with some sunshine and paradise after four years in the Nw!
Too bad about the dinan thing. Sounds like they've done an epic job marketing with basically no responsibility to follow through.
