But I know most don’t do that, and most have some sense of taking care of their cars and also appropriately modding their vehicles.
Just take care of your car when you mod it. Oil changes, constantly monitoring logs, etc.
On a side note regarding warranty. [COLOR="black"]There are rumors that BMW logs the status of the car through the key of your vehicle. /COLOR]Not sure if this is true or not, but regardless, best thing to do when you flash your car back to stock and relock DME, use your spare key that’s never been used to unlock the car when it’s tuned, and use that key for service. It’s never a guarantee but, stay super safe with it, and chances are you just might be able to get away with it.
But honestly if you break a car while modding it, you should be the one paying for it. It’s not BMW’s fault you went and screwed with the car and broke it. Pay to play. Simple as that. If you’re so worried about warranty then tuning this early on simply isn’t for you.

This is true & I would agree that this method might just work.
