Not sure they real reason...I have a gut feeling that with how underrated the hp/torque numbers from BMW were and the X3M release coming, with the relationship BMW has with Dinan, they told Dinan not to develop our car more so that it wouldn't mess up the X3M sales with the hp/torque numbers being so close. I don't know...but it stinks. I was hoping to add a total of 50-75hp/torque at least...

I noticed that post as well. I am a total noob here and to BMW but I find that really dumb. I understand getting burned by the X4 platform but everyone should have known that was a niche platform. With the way the sales are going for the G01 I cant see why they would say no outright this early. Its almost like Dinan was hard set to make sure not to.
