In reality, there may be no functional differences. I do not have any experience and perhaps those that have worked with Dinan in the past can comment.
No, absolutely incorrect. Dinan does not and has never "voided" your BMW warranty. The Dinan parallel warranty is for situations where repairs are denied under the BMW warranty, and Dinan then picks up the tab. It has been this way for years and has not changed.

The other factor is that the M-Performance tune has 1 level only, whereas the Dinan has stages 1-4, with 4 being extreme and including a higher-output turbocharger in addition to the software.

I have the MPPK and MPE and am fine with the modest power increase and other items that the MPPK provides (like the exhaust burble, etc.).
