Glad someone understands it
Hahaha.

Guess you missed/ignored his last line.

Is your tune a Dinan tune? I'm assuming not because you said ECU tune.. which would lead one to believe it's not. Dinan does piggybacks.

It's complete bullshit, hopefully your buyer is reading this thread.

Dinan USED to be "covered" by BMW (In USA). In reality the BMW service department & Dinan would speak and depending on what part failed they may or may not back charge Dinan so the end user wouldn't really see that.

They were the only "approved" BMW (USA) tuner.

In todays world you purchase the matching warranty through Dinan directly.

If you have a one-off agreement with your dealer you need to be specific with that otherwise you're lying in your ad.

I cannot stress this enough THERE ARE NOT ANY DEALER APPROVED TUNES.

Before you try and even think about replying.. do everyone a favor and post your paperwork that shows that it's specifically approved.

Don't worry it should be easily available for you and I'm sure you have no hesitation in providing everyone the proof to back up your statement.
Ok. Cool story
