Hi All,

Looking for some SA reference for North Jersey Mod Friendly Dealer. I want to add DP and jb4 to my M3 CS but don't want to get flagged.

Appreciate if anyone can help,

Following! I know a guy @ paul miller bmw that wouldn't check my car for a tune but that was when I was just stage 1 with an exhaust on my previous 15' M4. Now I want to play it safe with my CS as well, feeling the itch like yourself to go catless. I'm also a "panda" CS ill give you a follow on instagram.

That is definitely misinformation.

I recommend you work with an indy shop like us (Bimmer Clinic/Maximum PSI) to handle your mods/maintenance of you are going to be tuning the car. We can take care of it all under one roof!

So please explain why?

Dealers can only get Fasta Data via ISTA. They do not flag cars. Not their job and also they don't have the tools to do it.

On the other side you can get definitely flagged during or after a dealer visit but not by the dealers. So no matter if the dealer is mod friendly or not, it's not in their responsibility if a car gets flagged.

Simply put, if you go to a BMW dealership with a modded car, you are at the risk of having your warranty voided. Not saying that it will 100% happen, but it can happen, and has happened. Why run the risk of that possibility, instead of working with a shop that has performance AND your best interest in mind?

You are right. I only said it doesn’t matter if the dealer is mod friendly or not, you can get flagged anyway via the system. It is not up to the dealer if a car gets flagged or not.
