WTF are those guys thinking? BMW is starting to push their own performance line and sooner or later they might start kicking Dinan out of their dealerships. There is no relationship between Dinan and BMW at this point.

Furthermore, BMW is making their ECUs more and more complex. I even see Jim Conforti struggling with his software for the new ECUs. Dinan has also been making a lot of revisions of their software fighting all the little updates that BMW throws against the tuners. It is an uphill battle. Unless that hedge fund plans on doing something entirely different with the company and its name, it is a stupid move on their part.

I would never go public in this market either.
