Yeah I hear ya. Every now and then I see one in here for 5-600. And no tune. I'm going to do MHD. I'm going in for a valve cover leak and 2 electrical issues next week. I have 800 miles left on warranty. Once it's done I'm tuning, I have been waiting because that's usually the one that throws the dealer off

MHD or BM3 is the way to go, I think even Dinan is working on a flash tune, not sure though. I still have two years of waiting to do However, my next mod is definitely going to be suspension, can't wait two years for that, likely Bilstein shocks + Eibach springs, should not impact warranty, waiting for the summer to do it, F32 suspension does seem a bit better than my previous F30, maybe because it sits lower, still a lot of room for improvement, also the xDrive front wheel gap is driving me crazy.

It did sit perfectly with the tape, just that it started lifting one one side the next day. And are you sure that's the tape you used, I'll order the same then.

I am 100% sure that is the tape i used, i checked my amazon order history.

I decided to tune and install IC, CP, and DP with 1 year left on my CPO warranty. In an absolute worse case scenario i would remove mods and unstall tune/relock DME, although generally people say the tune is still detectable and BMW may reject warranty claim if it is something serious.

Let me put it this way though - if you mod/tune after your warranty is up, you have a 0% chance of getting anything covered. If you mod/tune when still in warranty, at least you have a chance of something being covered...

Also, just because you mod/tune doesnt mean your warranty is completely gone, BMW would need to show that the mod/tune caused the issue. So for example if something completely unrelated to engine/drivetrain needs fixed, there should be no issue if you are tuned/modded.

Not saying you should tune if it will make you uncomfortable while still in warranty, just throwing in my 2c and experience.

It all depends on the manager working at the dealer haha, are they in a good mood or bad mood lol

I just don't want any extra/huge expenses for the next two years, will only do shocks + springs and probably MPPK for now, which will not impact the warranty BM3/MHD is pretty tempting, along with a few bolt-ons N55 becomes really fast and fun!
