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.

So if we have a just purchased new 2018 50i, Dinan would be a very good recommendation, even with the higher cost and little less power output. DOnt need to ruin a warranty in the first 1k miles
Any easy way to know if we have mechanical or electrical wastegate? Dinan stage 1 only works for mechanical ones.
