The only caveat is that you can't purchase this insurance unless your car is less than 15 months old AND has less than 15,000 miles.

I already had Geico when I got my M550i and they added it automatically to my policy.
I also have MBI from GEICO. But my understanding is that they would take the same attitude toward a tune. So if the BMW dealership determined that the car was tuned and that the tune contributed to the failure, I think GEICO would also decline to cover it.

Are you suggesting that GEICO will cover a part failure even if the dealership determined that the tune caused or contributed to the failure? That would be terrific if true.
I think I'm going to speak to Geico tomorrow and poke around this subject with them. As in would they cover engine if I didn't put enough oil in engine doing oil change myself. If they cover that you'd think a tune blowing engine would be covered as well? Get a basis of how generous this coverage is that we pay $3 bucks a month for.
