I'm sure this depends on your dealer and the service tech/manager you work with as well and I wouldn't be surprised if some were easier to work with than others
Thanks Archie, that sounds about right. And it does depend on the dealer, and sometimes the customer as to how they help out with a problem/conflict. I know that the dealer I worked for would not even work on a car that had Dinan tunes or parts on them because at one point they could not get Dinan to stand behind its emissions compliance warranty and the Dinan modified cars kept failing to pass emissions tests. So they drop all Dinan related things and would not service the Dinan modified cars (they previously had been a Dinan dealer). However another BMW dealer not far away did (and does) do Dinan mods and works on the Dinan modded cars. Now my info is about 6 years old, but I know the dealer where I worked still doesn't work on Dinan modified cars. --Bob
