Dinan and BMW fell out of bed years ago, in part because BMW was coming out with their own line of performance parts.

It makes zero sense to me that BMW would sell a competing product. I find this hard to believe, this would be the only dealership in the US I've ever heard of recently to do what you're talking about.

Whoever told you this you might want to double check just to be 100%. I find the likelihood of what you say to be....well, not likely.
Dinan and BMW still work together. I got my M6 dinan tune at a dinan BMW dealer, there are such things and it's warrantied. They even tout it on their website, so by any legal measure, BMW is allowing this and has to have approved it.

"The installation of Dinan products will not affect your new or Certified Pre-Owned BMW warranty coverage. You are covered mile-to-mile, year-to-year, and bumper-to-bumper."
