Gotta love salesmen! Anything to turn a bigger profit.

In the grand scheme of things, that seems to be the priority these days.

Out of all the 3rd party tunes out there, I'd go with Dinan first, Cobb second. I don't feel comfortable using any other ones.

With the relatively new DinanCare extended warranty program, I wonder how sentiments change about being hesitant to get a dinan tune. With a DinanCare plan you effectively will land up with three (+1) options (though not necessarily all at the same time):
1. BMW repairs the car
2. Failing which Dinan repairs the car as a part of their standard warranty.
3. Failing which DinanCare would pick the bill.
4. Failing which you pay the bill (how likely is it that you arrive at this 4th step ?

)

Has anyone ever purchased Dinancare and have any feedback on this plan?

EDIT: Here is a thread that has some decent info on this (including contract details): http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60...ns-here-4.html
