He assured me that BMW/Dinan would cover any issues with a Dinan install. He has never had any major issues with a stage 1 Dinan tuner. And the dealer has been very good to me as I have 2 BMW's. It looks like it is easy to remove in case any issues do come up.

The first thing I noticed w/ my M240i after the install..Starting the car and pulling away, i have zero hesitation in comfort mode like I did prior. I did a number of dead stop starts on the way home just to see if I was imagining things and I was pleasantly surprised I was not.
The car is very fast w/ the tune. I find myself rarely going to "Sport Mode" as I get more than enough power in comfort mode. If I want to spice things up a bit, I move just the shifter to the m/s position for more aggressive shift points and more engine braking.
In sport mode w/ shift lever to the m/s, the car is a beast.
I'm still getting 26.X MPG in town with it. I couldn't be happier considering the car can run w/ the big boys should I choose to, I may not win, but I'll be right on their tail.
One last thing, I find I still have some hesitation if I do not come to a complete stop. Like pausing as you roll up to an intersection before going, there is a hesitation. But again, that's a rare instance...dead stops are perfect.
