you can still earn your miles that you fly with SAS to your bmi Diamond Club account and as the others have mentioned it is very good for redeeming miles (one-way for 50%, miles+cash, buying extra miles if short is not a rip-off unlike SAS, etc).
also regarding the Lufthansa ownership of bmi and possiblity of it changing to Miles&Less - according to a German newspaper there is word that Lufthansa are trying to sell their stake in bmi now so it could stay Diamond Club for a while longer.
