Andrew - a question????

If a car has a piggy-back or a remap, and something mechanical in or close to the engine fails, for example fuel injectors, cam bearing, piston cracks, turbo gives out, cracked head, etc.... Not a wheel bearing, or the sunroof motor, or a faded leather seat.

Doesn't the chipping / remap give BMW grounds to debate the matter.

My concern is, they have much more technical expertise than most of us, and deeper pockets to defend their position.

In the end, can they simply say - you uprated the cars power and torque beyond spec. That has put additional stress on the engine and related components. That's why they failed. So sorry - no warranty.

Then we mere mortals have to choose to either accept that, or fight it with vastly inferior resources than BMW.

Cheers.
