AFe Scorcher Programmer
I wanted to give my new 228i a little boost in power. Turner Motorsports claims this chip boosts hp by 38 and gives the exhaust a little better note. They say that it does not void the warranty and recommend removing it before any dealer servicing. It is a plug and play install and takes about 5-10 minutes. Any comments on this product.

With that being said, the Scorcher it's a cool product and definitely reliable. It's also very easy to install, so if you wanted to remove it prior to going to your dealer, it'll take roughly 15 minutes to do so. |

The engine part would have no impact on the failure of, for example, a strut, as it has no nexus. So, the potential loss of warranty of coverage is specific to a consequential effect, which the manufacturer has the burden to demonstrate. For everyone's information, please research the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. Here is an excerpt from the FTC website. "Defective" may be defined as not meeting the OE specifications. "Still, if it turns out that the aftermarket or recycled part was itself defective or wasn't installed correctly, and it causes damage to another part that is covered under the warranty, the manufacturer or dealer has the right to deny coverage for that part and charge you for any repairs. The FTC says the manufacturer or dealer must show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying warranty coverage."

Take a little time to note all of the subforums on 2Addicts. There are quite a few. A competing 2 Series/F22 forum doesn't have subforums -- and as a result, that forum is used far, far less than this one. Welcome!

Nothing voids the warranty all together. Dealer might refuse to do a certain job because of your mods but he cant cancel your warranty.
A stage 1 tune like the AFE or BMS stage 1 can be removed in less than 5 minutes and dealer will not detect it. Just remove it before your visit and you are good
