If you have the money, go for it. I have the Dinan S-package on my 545i and don't regret my choice whatsoever.
As a matter of fact, BMW service reprogrammed my iDrive which overwrote my Dinan tune on Thursday 6/25, Dinan re-programmed it for me (free of charge of course) on Friday morning 6/26, within an hour. I was home by 9:30 am and by 10:00 am, I was on my way to Great America for a day of fun with my family.
My point here is that Dinan's support of their customers and products is awesome - reliability is one of the best luxuries you can have and Dinan's products and support are absolutely reliable.
Also, for the time that my car did not have the tune (from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning), the lack of Dinan Stage 2 was very noticeable to me, thus re-affirming me that I made the right choice. For sure, there are other great tuners out there as well, but again - support, convenience of Dinan location, refinement of non-OEM tune, etc. are things to consider as well.
Bottom line, you're paying for quality products, ongoing support and peace of mind. If you got 8k to spend on it, then why not do it?

I would like to know what hp gains are coming from 8k before i did it though. For 8k you can get coilovers, rpi exhaust, rpi scoops, bmc filter, remap and get some good gains for less money!
If money isnt an issue obviously dinan offers amazing products and service. You wont be disappointed!
