BMW aftermarket is usually more or just as expensive as APR. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't make any money on BMW products. I think their focus is more on VAG products and that's it. They probably don't want to take on any more work then they do right now as I'm sure they're plenty busy. My .02 though.

Also, I'm considering Dinan and not primarily because of the warranty either.
When it comes to tuning the BMW offerings that most go with are priced well below what I paid. Even removing the $500 pulley the tune on sale is 1299 if I remember correctly. I haven't been on here long enough to get an idea on percentages but I think it's safe to say that the ~$600 JB4 is by far the most popular tuning option.
I would compare APR along the lines of Dinan.

I guess you could say that though. Some people as myself will not consider a jb4 as an option.
