I take excellent care of my cars. Had the cars not been Dinan-tuned, I could have walked away from the cars with no out-of-pocket expenses despite the fact that I was exiting the lease early. However, because the cars were Dinan-tuned and could not qualify as CPO cars (according to my dealer), the cars were worth less in the dealer's eyes.
Essentially, both cars were out of equity to the tune (no pun intended) of around $2,000. That's why I was disappointed.

I believe your dealer is FOS and was putting the screws to you. I've never heard of Dinan tuning not being accepted for CPO. One of my BMWCCA friends bought a 2006 M3 a couple years ago with FULL Dinan tuning and other parts (from the same dealer I use) as a CPO car. Dinan tuning can be easily removed by a simple reflash of the base DME software image. Sorry you have such an asshat for a dealer.
