So just a heads up for those flash tuned (that includes me too lol): lately already 3 owners were flagged by BMW dealerships for having a third party software flashed to their DMEs. All 3 have BM3 tune, but that doesn't mean other tunes won't be flagged. AFAIK any flash can be discovered if they really want. There are many ways for BMW dealerships to do it and apparently even flash counter reset doesn't help. So bottom line is you gotta pay to play. You can't have everything - power and warranty. I mean, you can have it until you are flagged lol. I personally am done with warranty and I went to the dark side for power, but I did it knowing the consequences. Just my opinion.

P.S. Also posting in Facebook your tunes and dyno numbers is not going to end well lol. Nowadays it's very easy to deny warranty based on such posts and it takes 5 min for BMW to search, find and print such posts with dates and names conveniently provided by Facebook lol. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but just be careful out there.
