I would then also be flagged from the aftermarket warranty.īut if I wait till my factory warranty is up, then use the aftermarket warranty for a claim, and took the car to a BMW specialist (a dealer might not be ideal in this situation), chances are, I'd be in the clear. I could ask the aftermarket warranty to step in now, since BMW rejected the warranty work due to a tune (my fault of course), but that would be a horrible idea, because the aftermarket warranty would question why my factory warranty isn't covering the fix. I did it for resale purposes, as it does separate you from the rest when trying to sell your car, even if we don't keep the car over 2 years (which we probably wont). I bought the car for my wife a few months ago, and also purchased an aftermarket warranty.

My factory warranty has already been flagged for having a tune (another year left on the factory warranty), but will theoretically still cover none tune (powertrain) related issues. Paying for an extra warranty (which is silly IMO) and then tossing it out by modifying the car from stock isn't really a smart idea.

Am i better off just running my car stock until the warranty ends, or is there a way around a CEL for a DP? Also can a aftermarket FMIC get blamed for something going wrong in a car? I just can't wrap my head around how that would void a warranty although i guess since a CP could void a warranty and that basically ensures the plastic grenade doesn't go off under my hood and ruin more stuff! Just a little bummed but willing to hear any and all advice. Can anybody give me some advice, because i know most DPs will give a CEL and to get rid of that i would need a BM3 flash and that would be detected by the dealership from my understanding. I would love to do all those mods even with the warranty and take my chances of them trying to prove a certain mod messed something up. It seems as though i wont be able to do anything with this extended warranty i ended up getting when i bought the car, and unfortunately my dealership is 'one of those' that will literally go by the book and not cover anything.

I was planning on doing some mods to my car however with the research i have put into a DP, tune, and possibly a CP.
