BOV and BMW Dealership

[Raz0s]

Hi Guys,

just wanted to get some feedback from some members.
Do any of you take your cars 'under warranty' to BMW with BOV's installed?

I am curious if the BMW Computer that they connect your car to can detect them?

Im not phased with the dealership / mechanics seeing it... they never hassle me about my car, but just don't want the computer to spit out an alert saying the car is modified


Any thoughts guys?

if the air is being recirculated or vented to atmosphere I dont think the computer would have a clue to be honest so I wouldnt be too worried

Take it in with the BOV's as is. You wont have any issues as far as their scanner detecting anything strange.

I take mine as is and to coin a phrase "I don't give a fuck!"

Same. Don't give a flying fuck.

I guess it's safe to say most of us don't give a shit about taking our car's for a dealer visit with mods. At the end of the day it's our fucking car's and we'll do whatever the fuck me want.

All this swearing really did feel good.

Wait until your dealer sticks you with a big COD repair and voids your warranty coverage. Then the swearing will really start to fly!

Since my BOV is as loud as fuck, I don't think them sticking in a computer is how they're gonna find out. You can hear it from a mile away

Bit late for that now mate. My warranty expired 2 months ago.

[JB4-335]

Likewise. I'm 2 months out of warranty also. It's my fucking car so they can go and fuck themselves.
This is the stress release thread.

If they noticed and voided warranty, couldn't you just take it to a different dealer with mods removed?

If they were competent, they'd put a black mark against your vin for being a naughty boy.

It's not a matter of BMW Australia black marking you and "voiding your warranty" if they notice any modification or installation of aftermarket parts.

The non-OEM part has to be related to the issue to affect warranty and only then if BMW dealership makes an issue out of it.

Also people here tend to over-worry about BMW refusing to repair something under warranty. If they do then you just pay for the part/service cost yourself. So what? If you're paying for BMW to service your car then the price of a BMW part ex-USA installed/repaired by a good independent will be a doddle.

Well said Kenny.
