some people is probably a little normal. but i just want to get it checked out.

here is the thing i have jb3, and do not have bt scan tool..

should i just try my luck and bring it in and see what happens...

At least remove the JB3 so it isn't completely obvious if there is a code.

original786 · 09-15-2009, 12:46 PM

will they check for codes
for a perhaps a leak?

deletedelete · 09-15-2009, 12:52 PM

I think they always hook it up to a computer when theres a problem. At least remove the jb3.

Chassy = Chasis?

Actually, ............ chassis. LOL.

And for the post above ......
BMW will not run diagnostics on each car that comes into the shop unless there is a definite code thrown. They will know this once the SA plugs the FOB into the desktop reader.

Remove the tune.

deletedelete · 09-15-2009, 01:09 PM

What?! The fob keeps codes stored??

original786 · 09-15-2009, 01:09 PM

should i still remove it

Codes will be stored in the ECU and not displayed on the cluster, definitely remove the tune.

Ofcourse.
If they show up just once then it's there til their removed. Ask the SA to show you the screen readout of the FOB info next time you stop in .......

Its your warranty.

ToadHollow · 09-15-2009, 01:11 PM

Did you EVER have a CEL show up since installing the tune?

No, I used to live out there and always had good experiences @ United & Globe. United is a sponsor on this forum also.

I don't know enough about Nally to give an opinion though.

I would go to whichever you usually go to. It allows you to built a relationship with the service dept.

original786 · 09-15-2009, 03:08 PM

just got back from the dealership guys

they said everything was normal.

original786 · 09-15-2009, 03:09 PM

thanks for all the quick feedback.

NiVeDh · 09-15-2009, 05:29 PM

Always a good idea to remove mods that might potentially void your warranty before going. How do you like Nalley? I didn't have a good experience at United so I started going to Global Imports. Shame because United is a lot closer to my house.
