Any remap is detectable. If BMW really want to find it they can interrogate the DME and find it. Our DME's have security features that BMW can only unlock to check how many times the unit has been flashed and what with.

AFAIK no remapping outfit has managed to circumnavigate that. Then you have traces left by software install and remove. The pieces can be brought together. A bit like when you delete a file on your PC and then use software to recover the file in full glory despite hitting empty recycle bin.

Heaven forbid you have a warranty claim for the DME. Mine was replaced under warranty for my E92. I guess at that stage a claim would be refused outright.

My thoughts are that Bird's must be offering some kind of insurance in that price. Will drop them an e-mail.
