This is probably going to be the dumb question of the day; I'd like to know how to pronounce "Dinan". I've heard both "Dee-nan" and also "Die-nan" from supposedly hard core BMW guys, and I'm confused. I guess I'm asking how the people at the company itself pronounce it.

thanks,

It's Dye-nun and that's what I'm sticking with.

There is normally no 'right' way to pronouce a proper noun. All you can do is say it like the guys who named it.
