But the other tuners out there have a different strategy. They are targeting customers who are willing to take more risks at the expense of more features and more power, etc. If, as Mike claims, the warranty is simply a marketing strategy to sell more tunes, then why haven't more tuners like BM3 gone that route? They could sell a heck of a lot more tunes by offering a warranty just for the OTS maps. But they don't because they know that their tunes are riskier as they are offer more features and higher performance.

I reiterate my point that one tune is not better than the other simply because of more features etc. There is a market for both those who prefer more features and those who prefer safety.
i completely disagree with you the mere fact that i can log my car and monitor it and adapt my map to fuel conditions completely out weighs any warranty that dinan or carbahn offers, lets not kid ourselves there are plenty cases where people with dinan parts and tunes have had their warranties removed and have had to turn to lawyers for help. Anything you add to your car should be with a own risk mentality, warranties are just marketing schemes to charge more money.
