Also check out the alignment specs they are very close to stock.

You will retain warranty coverage from Dinan even if the install is done at a non-Dinan dealer. The only thing we would not warrant is improper installation so if the installing non-Dinan party effed something up due to a bad installation we wouldn't pay for their mistake whereas a Dinan dealer is essentially vouched for and will be forced to take responsibility for any improper installation.
In regards to the quoted times for suspension goods in particular we are in a bit of a quandary whereas that is concerned as there are established labor times done by BMW and since we in the dealerships we have to fall in line with their labor times as well. Do we always agree with them, no, but we have to play nice and by the rules. You can always negotiate. =)
