I'm looking around to find the best intake decision for my 2014 428i.
It also has Dinan stage 1 installed... I want to keep the dealer warranty in mind also. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated!

The only reason I got my dealer-installed DINAN was to keep my factory warranty

You still lose your BMW warranty like any other mod (brand does not matter)

Intake is rarely any issue with warranty. Talk to your service adviser how mod friendly they are and get Injen intake

So you're saying that Dinan, the dealership and some users on this forum misinformed me that my car will still have the full warranty even post-DINAN install?

Yes

Dinan offers their warranty in case BMW warranty is voided

Factory warranty is voided with the install of any Dinan part. Dinan provides a matching warranty to cover you for anything that BMW will not. That being said, most dealers will not give you a hard time for let's say, a suspension problem just because you have your Dinan stage 1 on the car.

Also, your oil change has nothing to do with the warranty. Maintenance plan =/= warranty. You can mod and still have your maintenance coverage.

it´s all good

DO you have rfts? I remember on my E90 they´d get worn on the outside. Thats where the steel(?) ring is, inside the tire. If so, the best thing you can do is ditch the runflats and go for a real tire. You will not only get a more comfortable and better ride, you´ll save a lot of weight which will also make it a bit quicker on it´s feet. Much better performance addition than any intake will ever give you. If you get light rims as well, it will be a whole new world
