In addition, a flash tune is not nearly as visible to the dealership when taking the vehicle in for service. However, if something major (engine, transmission, differential, etc.) does break, they very likely will find out and quite possibly will not cover it under warranty.

Just to be clear: I'm not saying don't tune, I just think a discussion with your tuner about your tuning goals should also include a frank discussion about longevity and reliability.

And I totally agree with you, if properly tuned should not be a issue, but we know that if there is a issue they will look into the matter and void the warranty.

Dinan is not covered by BMW. I have it on my wife X35. Nice bump in power over MPPK, but if something fails that is caused by the unit, Dinan has to pay for BMW to fix it. Not BMW.

Is that really any different?? Like a 3rd party warranty? Does any other tuner have as good a warranty? Still sounds like the most attractive option if one is concerned about warranty. Maybe best to have a BMW Dinan center install the tune.

That would be your best warranty option.

The downside of choosing a Dinan tune is that it's not as good as an ECU tune. Low end power wasn't good, and driveability suffered. I swapped my Dinan tune out for an ECU tune and the car drives much better.
