They seem to exist just to "pump and dump" whatever they buy. They presumably give zero fucks about enthusiasts who buy the parts, and the ultimate corporate owner is only in it for money. I personally would avoid any brand in this portfolio out of principle.
That's a sad state of events, I used to be a huge Dinan fan, since they work closely with BMW dealerships. Not so much after reading this and also I've also notice that my dealer no longer sell Dinan products.

It's all adds up now
