Guess that's how its supposed to be then. I figured I'd be able to register the car and load the maps, have a look while waiting for the beta to end lol

Okay one last silly question about warranty, I don't want to be that "annoying" guy... so last one. Promise.
If I purchase the tune, OBD unlock, load up the CS map and drive it around because I'm curious....then after I've had my fun I load back the stock map and relock the ECU. A year down the road my engine goes kaboom, will BMW still deny my warranty even though I was on the stock tune at the time of failure because once upon a time I was tuned? Will they look into my ECU history and say...."well yup, this guy was tuned at one time" he's screwed. Haha! What I'm trying to say is that if I flash, then went back to stock will it come back and haunt me like a bad one night stand years ago? I'm guessing with FASTA data they can have a screen shot of when the failure happens correct? And if you're running all stock at the time, they shouldn't have a problem even though you were once tuned right??? Last edited by DanMpower; 02-11-2018 at 02:18 PM.. |

You're already the "annoying" guy asking warranty related questions. If you're concerned about warranty don't have your car tuned. And please, no more warranty questions.

If I had a year or two of warranty left then I wouldn't even bat an eye but I do have 6 years left on the line so I'm just a bit hesitant. Oh well, curiosity always gets the better part of me in the end anyways. Time to place my order. Last edited by DanMpower; 02-11-2018 at 04:18 PM.. |

I suppose it would e a good idea to maybe drive your car for several months before modding as people have experienced engine failures on cars with very low miles. However, after the car is broken in and you have a reasonably clear idea that the car is trouble free, that’s likely the best time to install your tune, not when your warranty is about to expire. |

Here in Kuwait, once you're modded (even if its just an exhaust), your warranty is gone. Even if you come with a non-drivetrain related issue, if you're modded your entire warranty is revoked.

Big shout out to PTF, Dzenno has been working on one of our Track rats for the past few days and was able to fully perform unlocking/tuning fully through OBD2.
We are happy to announce that we are now fully set up for full BM3 OBD2 flashing, as well as those looking to run full E85, including dyno tuning on-site

Engine mods include Catless downpipe, Akrapovic EVO and intakes/charge pipes, we'll likely be removing the intakes and going back to the stock airboxes with BMCs.

Another OBD2 BM3-tuned M4 hits the streets with CaryTheLabelGuy E85 Flash. Hitting 570whp on stock turbos!
A little breakup in midrange on this run, we've been noticing the coilpacks failing (common with BMWs throughout the years) a bit prematurely, its a good idea to keep an eye in this area if you're noticing misfires. New coilpacks cured the issue. Modifications - Evolution Racewerks Downpipes (catless) - Evolution Racewerkz Charge Pipes - Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust - NGK Plugs Enjoy!
