I don't believe your characterization of the Dinan warranty is entirely accurate. Purchasing a Dinan tune doesn't unilaterally void your factory warranty. The Dinan warranty is intended to supplement the factory warranty in the event BMW determines damages/failures are due to the Dinan tune. The factory warranty remains intact and the consumer should expect coverage through it on all repairs unless it's determined the tune caused the damage...then the Dinan warranty provides coverage. It boils down to a negotiation between BMW and Dinan.
