We make up probably 2% of 335i owners (at most).

There will be a TON of 335i owners who want MORE power, but also don't want to have to worry about removing anything for warranty coverage.
They won't give a rats arse about customization of power levels.
They simply WANT more power.

Based on Dinan's hp/torqe claims, they are equal to the PROcede v1.47 in power (actually a tiny bit more if those power claims are on 91 Octane fuel).
To get that level of performance (+45-50 rwhp), plus maintain all factory warranties for $2000 would be a no brainer for A LOT of people

Not to mention many dont want to, or dont feel comfortable removing a bunch of parts from their car to open up and stick a bunch of wires into the CPU, or even reach in blindly and up-plug a sensor while hopefully not snapping off clips.

Getting a flash from Dinan is going to the "gentlemans tune" requiring nothing more than driving to an authorized dealer and handing them your Credit Card.
