They don't, nor the performance. The aftermarket scene just evolved faster than they could. Steve Dinan doesn't even run it anymore, he's moved on. They are one of the few "old-school" BMW tuning shops that are still open, but likely not for long.
Back when they made aftermarket camshafts, bigger throttle bodies, custom bracing, actual parts that improved performance and couldn't get anywhere else - they were pretty cool. Around when F30 3ers came out is when I started to notice it. When you look on the Dinan website and the only options for your model is floormats, pedals, and tunes - not so much cool anymore.
Although when you still see a E39 Dinan M5, you know it means business.
My 2 cents on Dinan.
