If they offer this reflash at say $1499 with a warranty, they are going to be the new gold standard for 335i tuning. Especially if they know what they are doing with the tune.

Sure all of us on the forum will gripe and complain (and hopefully all buy JB2s instead), but at that price with decent performance gains they will outsell all of us piggyback tuners combined.
Exactly what I was saying above. Like it or not, Dinan is much bigger than e90post. You might notice part of their marketing plan isn't coming here and responding to sflgator when he says they are washed up and will never sell any units.

That being said, I'm glad to stick with my JB2(R), 40 dollar K&N, and cheap exhaust mod. But there is a large market for "overpriced" Dinan products and if the flash came in at 1500.00 with a good tune, even a cheap guy like me would be tempted. Of course I'd also be looking at adding Terry's pill on top of it if I could get away with it
