That's why I said if you are red lining your car all the time.
Because by doing that, you will log in a higher maximum boost than stock. While regular drive, you just bringing the boost in earlier.
Also, BMW won't look into it unless you have some sort of damage in the engine.
Even that, they still have to proof that indeed higher boost is the part that causes the damage to the engine, not because of their penny pinching material quality, or miscalibration on their end, etc.
