Stay modded or to unmod...

persian54 · 03-31-2010, 10:33 PM

Well, I went somewhat mod crazy after I got the car...

BMS DCI/JB+ first
then JB3, RR DP, Helix, H&R Sways, BMW Perf Strut bar etc etc... (in that order)

now, i got a new BMW because I wanted warranty etc (main reason I got rid of the Porsche)

But now I need to make sure I know which tech and SA are working in order to go if there's a problem.. and that dealer is 40 miles away
(for example, the rear is squeaking [most likely brake pads] and I want to go..I keep getting a SES light related to 02 sensor codes/I get misfires when on high maps)

Now, I'm thinking maybe I should part out the RR DP and the JB3... a FMIC isn't so frowned upon, and sways aren't really going to cause a problem.

This way, I'd feel free to go to any dealer anytime if anything happened... and I could actually use BMW Assist if need be without worrying that I might lose my warranty.

I guess I am mainly looking for some opinions/input.

My car was financed on May 20th, 2009, with 1.5 miles. Currently is shy of 14k.
Had an oil change at 7.5k if that matters.

Warranties are overrated, keep the mods.

But if you do end up selling, PM me. Interested in JB3, RR DP's, Helix FMIC, etc...

Wow, never thought I'd hear a BMW owner say that but...

If you're worried sell some of your mods.

+1 here! (I say that now... How much would a HPFP change be without a warranty? Ah eff it, I would DIY it.)
