Natural inclination is to release brake making the engine fire right back up causing the car to lurch forward because there is no longer enough brake force to restrain it.

Oh yes. One of the banes of my existence. Thankfully you can disable AS/S in Bimmercode. I haven't gotten around to it but use the off button. My M550 is not my DD.

So yes, you're correct that changing LED light colors does go through the DME, but that does not mean that BMW is "saving" of "flagging" that in any way to potentially void someone's warranty. They are more interested in finding out who is tuning their car and causing damages.
The day I met my SA, he advised me not to tune the car as BMW is now watching. Oddly enough, HE was the one who first introduced me to "coding" the car to my preferences.

To add to this: specifically service/fault code "S0777 SUSPICION OF ENGINE TUNING" pops up from ISTA (it's not a DTC), and it's specifically for tuning.

Here are some people who wrote theories on it: https://cartechnology.co.uk/showthre...=68755&page=11

In terms of SquareWheels Service Advisor, we all know that idiot SA's can talk out of their ass. Ask my seasoned 20+ year veteran SA the same question on will coding off ASS void my warranty and you will get the opposite, correct, answer, after she finished laughing at the question.

We don't know exactly what BMW is checking for or if they'll update it to include stuff tomorrow that it doesn't include today. Owners are now aware of this being a thing.

But I absolutely don't have a care for what anyone else does to their car.
