Can BMW deny HPFP recall or warranty if you install an aftermarket intercooler?

I don't have have factory warranty anymore.
Haven't had my HPFP replaced, still going good, no long cranks

my question is can BMW deny me HPFP replacement if i have an aftermarket intercooler on?

Will my car get warranty for HPFP? the 120k miles even if my car holds a salvage title?

Can they deny warranty service? Possibly, but only if they believe that the mod but additional strain on the HPFP and that caused the failure.

Why do you want an intercooler?

There is generally no warranty coverage on salvage title cars.

If you have no warranty then what is there to extend?

You mean if you paid for BMW to replace the part out of warranty?

Yes. If you take your car in and they replace the pump. That part should be covered by a 2/yr unlimited mile warranty. But just the part they replaced.

Yes, do they do this for the HPFP recall.

And to the previous comment, i dont think BMW extends your warranty factory warranty. It extends the HPFP warranty to 120k miles, so only the HPFP not your tranny or the other parts.

Let me be perfectly clear. A salvage title car has no factory warranty. Accordingly, a salvage title car will not have the HPFP warranty extended.

Will BMW have any warranty on items you pay for? That depends on the cause of the salvage title.

Let's assume that the car has a salvage title because it was flood damaged then any electrical items that are installed will not carry a warranty as electrical items generally fail faster on flood damaged cars.

You pay for everything on a salvaged car and no items you add will have a warranty either.
