if you don't remove it for service at your dealership yes you likely will

a lot of the warranty concerns are just dependant on your dealer. for example, i have a dealer in texas that i took my 135i and 335i to, with catless downpipes, intercooler, intakes, and procede installed on both cars. they never said anything, neither did i. i had free oil changes done, hpfp replaced, head unit replaced (135i), and a few other random service visits.
now, if i tried to claim wastegate rattle or something to do with the intercooler, i probably woudn't have had warranty service done for free. for regular visits and maintenance, however, it was fine. 1911a145 is right, just don't try to claim warranty repair on a part or section that you've modified. dealers get paid by bmwna to complete warranty service; they're not owned by bmwna. so, it's in their best interest to complete warranty work on the cars, since bmwna cuts them a check for the parts/labor. as long as you're cool and not douchey with the service advisor, chances are you'll be fine. |

Dunno if this should be it's own topic but I'll start here. This is purely hypothetical I'm not looking to do anything crazy at this point but by design what should be a better setup for the radiator/intercooler:
A: Like stock putting an upgraded Radiator above an upgraded intercooler. B: Full size radiator with a front mount intercooler. |

the hardcore track guys that experience high oil temps will benefit from the upgraded oil coolers available (ar design, evolution raceworks, stett, etc). for street driven, daily drivers, they're not necessary. i live in houston, it gets pretty hot and humid here (like dallas, where you're at). i never had over 245 degree oil temps, with my upgraded intercooler. i beat on my car pretty regularly, too. |

Might make your air conditioning a little cooler when at low speeds though My extra oil cooler made enough of a difference that I was satisfied with the cooling. Before the cooler, the temperture fluctuations were more noticeable. But still well within the cars normal ranges. I did it for piece of mind. |

lol not sure if serious. better at what? better at making wheels? better at body kits? better at performance mods? better at tuning the engine? there are far better companies IMO with better products that also cost a lot less. |
