Dinan chip is covered by factory warranty and bumps you to like 350HP/350TQ or something like that.
Dinan stuff is no longer covered under warranty ......They parted ways with BMW

Whether Dinan stuff is covered by warranty or not, it has always seemed to me (based on the tests I have read) that while I like their minor visual upgrades to styling, their engine upgrades almost invariably increase the car's performance by a factor of almost nothing. Which makes me wonder why BMW enthusiasts flock to their doors over other tuners'. I can't recall ever reading about a Dinan car, and afterward saying to myself "I'd do that to my BMW in a heartbeat."

I'll keep my Vishu for an extra 90hp and ~100lbs over this overpriced crap which will probably cost 3x as much.
