Love your car and bike mashallah! Welcome to the team buddy!! With regards to your mod question, if you remap/tune ecu then kiss the warranty goodbye, ask the dealer if they will turn a blind eye to an exhaust/air intake setup. Sometimes they won't say anything if you put wheels on or an exhaust but best to check with them first, or, wait for the warranty to be over. The problem with me is I can't wait and usually void the warranty straight away lol

With regards to mods, you must ask Euromotors first! That's what i did!
I asked them and they gave me a clear answer:
"If a problem arises that is proven to have a direct link to the part you installed, then we cannot repair the problem under warranty"

What they don't know won't hurt them? An ECU map is invisible to anyone except the tuner himself. No BMW service center is able to retrieve ECU maps. They can only flash the firmware!

With all my modifications, they have carried out all my repairs under warranty, even CLUTCH and FLYWHEEL believe it or not!
Once again, they prefer to throw the work on warranty for 3 reasons:
1. Rebate on parts in case of claim.
2. Quick labor rebate back-invoicing.
3. No liability in case they screw up your repair due to faulty diagnosis.

The magic word is "proven". The service manager did tell me that it is to no advantage to Euromotors to void your warranty! It doesn't make ethical sense, nor does it make economical sense.

First of all Hamad, go ask your Service Manager. Hear it from the horse's mouth!
And when he confirms it, you can do all the research you want. Take your time and get the product that's right for you!
The best mods to start with are obviously exhaust (cat-backs) and lowering springs.
