Not sure it's in dealerships best interest to try and deny warranty repairs. BMW NA pays them to do the warranty repairs/recalls/etc. Seems like we go through this cycle of drama from owners worried about warranties with every engine thats been produced. I'm confident that I have heard more stories about dealers doing the work on tuned cars rather than denying/tattling/etc.

This has been discussed various times - the dealership does not decide whether or not any warranty work is to be performed. All warranty work needs to be authorized by BMW before the dealership can do anything. While the dealership won't have an issue doing something like engine work (they only thing they lose out on is potential shop time), BMW isn't going to give out an engine through warranty without going through all the data. |

If you tune/piggyback, you are screwed if you blow the engine. That is the end of the story. It doesn't matter if you're sleeping with your SA, your engine won't be covered. I look forward to BMW adding language to the lease that if you void the warranty you have to buy the car out. It is a clear breach of contract. Too many clowns running around with full attack E85 tunes and leased cars. |

I mentioned before, there is no proof of concept. Changing numbers on a display shows you can change numbers on a display, nothing more. If Mission is so paranoid about inevitable copiers--assuming it really works, why are they in the business? If someone else "cracks the code" and offers the tune publicly, they are just another option--not the leader. If they do have a product, why sit on it? It seems there are many here who would jump at the chance to buy it now, but would probably go with a competitor who offers it first. Not knocking Mission, and it they do have it, good for them for being first. But they certainly aren't acting like they understand business principles. If you have a product which you can bring first to market and don't, why did you bother to create it in the first place?

I tend to try and let tuners figure out the safe range of torque on the stock block before tuning, but honestly I am new to the bimmer tuning world. Still doing my research but am heavily leaning towards one. |

All these tunes that create massive torque humps in the midrange are stressing the engine and also make the car undriveable. If I were to tune, i'd use a low torque solution. Even/especially with larger turbos. I'd use the extra top end for extra performance and leave the midrange alone. |

Always interesting to read these threads when they come up not because of the DME crack but the responses of others across though everyone here reading this knows that this won't be the last DME to be cracked and the using at your own discretion talk will continue for years so long as a car has a DME in it.
I understand the case for making a clause for those that tune their cars and hark on it during their lease period but nothing also stops them from keeping the car bone stock, and harking on it while the oil is still cold, now that's a larger detriment in my eyes for the owner after the lease. Whether it's my F30 I've had tuned for some years now or my F90 thats also been tuned for a year now, I own these vehicles and as an adult should have full understanding of what I'm partaking in. Then again I'm not a hooligan 24/8 so let the thread continue I suppose |

Not trying to scare people… I've had my power train warranty voided a year ago after flashing back to stock so just want people to proceed with caution.
