Think it makes sense going forward as I plan on keeping it a bit longer Oct will be 2yrs and it's still low mileage for year as I got it AUC @ 3yrs with 18k on the clock (which I got a good deal on from where they started on it, before I cancelled the good for me cash but a very good for them PCP deal & then paid the new negotiated sticker price cash) plus I've had 2 yrs service cost free motoring apart from tyres thanks to its service pack that was still remaining. Plus with the options on it there's a fair bit of electrical equipment to potential to go wrong on it so going forward without the warranty cover would be a gamble I wouldn't chance.
Some probably think I'm bonkers but it's peace of mind yes you can get things done cheaper at specialists but they usually shy away if it's something big & warranty is a bit of a hard fight (been there/done that with VW) and with a good service manager some price matching and then BMWCCGB member discount ontop the minimal savings I might make after that are not really worth it going to an specialist/indie.

Apologies if I missed it but is your car on pcp as I’m interested to know if they informed BMW FS of your ‘mods’ (or could in the future) and any consequences that could have happened as a result of that?
We know there was the ‘influencer’ on your tube that had his agreement cancelled and had to stump up for the car as it was modified so wondering if the same applies in your case?
Yes these are very different circumstances where mapping a car isn’t the same as changing a few pieces of code but if BMW are drawing up the battle lines then this will be a concern to a lot of people!
