Is XHP allowed on a leased 540i?
This is my first ever leased car, I have a 2023 540i. I was planning on getting a muffler res delete and just putting it back on after, like a bunch of people do. But I had a friend give me the idea of maybe getting XHP and my question is, will it completely ruin my contract/void my warranty? I know it might void my warranty but how significant would this be? I will also definitely flash it back and have everything be back to bone stock, but would I still be penalized? Just need some advice, I really only want XHP to also have upshifts because I know they have a torque reductor or some bs now. Any advice works.

Yes you can’t make any modifications unless you have their permission
There was a video posted some time back where a you tuber leased I think it was a m4 and made some changes and showed these on you tube. BMW FS then demanded he paid the full amount for the car . It’s not worth it . If you really must make changes, buy out the car then that’s up to you. |

Yeah, you really don't own the car, so it is similar to vandalizing, for lack of a better word. It is not yours.
Now if you make the decision now that you are going to buy it off lease, it is a little more palatable.
