I'd be interested in a reflash for the d but, only if it was from a company that had semi local dealers that could handle the flashing, like GIAC.

I'm just not willing to yank the ECU, drop it in the mail, hope it comes back and is undamaged every time the dealer needs to update something in the DME. Luckily the d doesn't seem to need software updates as frequently as my 335i did but, still it just seems like a PITA. Never mind the possibility that if BMWNA were to change the software protection in one of these updates there is no telling how long you might be without a tune that you paid for while they try to crack the protection again.

I'm a fan of reflashes over piggybacks as I've never seen a piggy back that doesn't have some quirks but, it just seems the reflashes for the USDM d aren't quite there yet.
