RPI scoops and BMW Factory Warranty?

135i_vs_ · 09-20-2011, 05:32 PM

Do scoop installations void BMW warranty? Just trying to get an idea if I need to take off my newly purchased Red RPI scoops when the car goes in for any service.

Thanks,

You'll be fine. I'm sure they'll only think of it as cosmetic anyway.

I have the aFe scoops and the dealer does not care.

135i_vs_ · 09-21-2011, 05:11 PM

Just spoke with RPI, they advised it may vary from Dealership to Dealership, and to call the dealer and confirm. Hope the Smithtown BMW Dealership is not a Stealership.

Changing the entire intake filter would be more of their concern.

^ My dealership doesn't care about that either. Just mods to the lights and piggybacks/flashes. Doesn't even care about DPs, though some places do.
