I do not know for sure. My source just said that BMW "mother pc" compres the SW code to what the car 'should have". IF anything has been changed he said it flags the car. I will know more in a few days. Because I have to go back to my dealer for some work. I will ask more about this Big Brother stuff.


Btw... I think it was BimmerEngineer who said that some of the engine's sensors "record" higher boost levels or have a "tamper type tell-take". And no mater how you clear the faults memory, BMW will know. Not sure if THAT is true or not. But it wouldn't surprise me. But I use the BT scan tool and I have never had a code thrown due to my tune nor any shadow codes thrown. I think we need to know more about how BMW is going about this.
