Just moved from Germany to Tampa. Over in Germany the dealer really didnt care what I had put under the hood. But aparently in America that is a whole different story. What Dealer can i bring this to where they wont make a big deal out of this ?

If you ever are worried about what codes you might have before going to the dealer, come by our shop (we are only 10-15 minutes north from Reeves BMW)...

Most of our customers get their 1ers serviced at Reeves.

Im pretty sure with any dealer in the area a downpipe will void your warranty.. I was told I could do nothing but dinan exhaust/tune at Reeves

Your dealer in Germany can probably put the the correct maps on for you if you're worried about that. I thought they were supposed to convert it back to U.S. specs before shipping if you wanted them to.

From my understanding, and someone correct me if I'm wrong but some dealerships will void the entire thing, which sucks. I'm unsure about the other dealers in the area though, one in st pete and the other in pasco/L.O.L. (I think)

Yes, but they do things like put the Euro maps on them so you can use your nav. They're supposed to change it back for you. In the UK, you have to convert to the Euro headlights and rear fog switch, but they switch everything back before you ship if you ask them.

Sure, it's a US spec build, just like mine, but then your dealer went and put the EU maps on it so you could actually use your Navigation system. So it's no longer completely "US spec", since your Pentagon changed certain things to the EU spec. They can change them back, take it to them and ask them to switch it back right before you ship.
