I always tip my SA with a $250 Amazon gift card every time I get my cars back. This was just a mistake by me for not removing the race chip but it does suck that they flagged it and did not speak to me first |

Most of those sound like they did not flash tune the DME properly. You have to check off multiple boxes in the program to turn off all of the cat ready criteria.

But it’s not. Quickburn just had some bad luck. The piggy did zero damage. A properly designed piggy will cause zero damage. The Foreman was an ASS pure and simple. If I were his boss, this would be rescinded with an apology to Quickburn or you. If they wanted to warn him verbally that if it damages the engine, he owns it...ok. Preemptive Flagging is OverReach. No harm, no foul. I hate they treated you this way Quick. |

I agree here 100%. There is the letter of the law so to speak and the spirit of it in this case. I didnt have all of the OP's info when he first posted so of course, based on what he said, I was going to bad mouth the dealer foreman. Is it the dealers job to be proactive or reactive? The only time, IMHO, they should get involved in a flagging situation is when BMWNA is called in to play; meaning a factory rep has to come out and inspect the car due to a severe claim. This was not the case as onfire clearly stated. The Foreman was a dick (not Richard).

- Exhaust flap control is disconnected, you'll need a bypass plug. I can try making it for you. - O2 sensors since you have catless downpipe, need to fix from your flash tune. - ASD not coded off properly. Your Oil pressure message though, that's what you need to check. You can toast your engine with low oil pressure.

Prior to getting my M5C in September 2018, I had two F10 M5's both w/ piggys and zero issues taking it to the dealer connected. I never had one issue with the piggy and the car was never flagged. I've not done anything to the M5C but it will certainly be in the back of my mind if I were to take a modded car to the dealer today despite the great relationship I have with the SA. I don't want to sound overly paranoid but God only knows if the higher ups are being incentivized to flag modded cars and save BMW NA money in the long run. Either way, I've said it here a million times, "the days of carefree modding are long gone". Pay to play. Quick, sucks but thanks for posting this and sensitizing us all to this reality. THANK YOU!

They are VERY mod friendly. When I purchased my X6M the Sales rep told me to not worry about any mods that I might have planned. He will hook me up with a SA who will take care of me |

The M5 certainly isn't slow, not by any stretch of the imagination. For me, though, I bought the car for its luxury, versatility and performance. Like many others, I like to "enhance it" (subjective, I know) on all fronts including performance. I like the end result but I love the process; the looking around, obtaining reviews, creating something that makes my car unique, dragracing it, etc... love, love, love it.
