@jmr0311 definitely not. I wouldn't worry about springs, spacers, other cosmetic things, intake exhaust etc

Tuning would be the #1 thing to take out in hopes they don't flag you.

Never had a single issue with my past 2 bmws with taking it in with the above types of upgrades

Sorry my dude, but that is bad advice. My car was flagged for intake. They can technically flag portions, such as window motors for aftermarket tint. It's true.

That advice is a little extreme. If you have a relationship with your SA just ask them.

Flagging is one thing for intake. Not going to void a warranty unless there is major proof an intake caused a failure of something. Maybe like a MAF.

Tint on windows let's be honest.

Do whatever you would like but just ask your SA if major concern
