Exactly, 2017M240i . While the dealer may be paid by corporate for warranty work, I guarantee you that BMW NA applies pressure to keep those costs down as much as possible -- even insomuch as applying ceilings for it, particularly at a high-volume dealer with a large cross-section of customers like Advantage or Momentum.

To repeat: Speakers can't cause damage to components in car audio. This is physics. 2-ohm drivers were used on some early 2 Series models, so we know from that info that the amp can handle a 2-ohm load. What you are being told is absolute, total, unequivocal BS ...

... and if a dealership is going so far as to flag your car's file for this? Never, ever, EVER give them a cent of business again -- and tell them that. In fact, tell BMW NA that, too.
