Installing my 335i's Procede to my new 135i ?

Oregon · 01-07-2008, 08:06 PM

Just called Rasmussen BMW in Portland, OR as they are the only dealership in this state which supports Dinan. The guy with who I spoke reports, unequivocally, Dinan mods do not void the BMW 4-year warranty.

Call that stores Service Manager, and have him post that up here. I can call 3 stores and get a diff answer. Nothing personal but its not up to anybody but the store Service Manager. In most cases if you don't have a spotless record, then next in line is the Regional Service Manager.

It's not up to the store, it's up to BMW, because they set the rules.

this may be purely a matter of semantics but...

putting non-oem parts on your car, in and of itself, does not void your warranty. warranty issues arise when you bring your car in for service and said parts are found to be a contributing factor to the cause for a warranty claim.

and fwiw, i also think this issue is highly dealer-specific.

You misunderstood. I'm speaking of the Dinan warranty. Any part you put on the car (intake, exhaust...) voids the Dinana warranty. And BMW warranty is decided by BMW (ultimately). This is where finger pointing WILL occurr.

Do you know in what way the 535i needs a different setup?

Shiv - are you on this board (yet)?

Didn't read anything there about Procede being different between 335 and 535.

Exactly.

I'm sure all of the products will work well. My concern is traction. It seems that there is limited space for tires larger than stock. 245's won't cut it with 350WHP/tq. 275's will also be a handful.

Tom (Atl) · 07-02-2008, 01:33 PM

Ok, I ordered V3. I intend to install it on my v81 135i with the doomsday map!
Putting the dual cone intake on too.

If anyone in Atlanta wants to join me, let me know!

They're available already? I thought it was in beta testing stage still?

Yes, there available and installed on a couple 135i's.

The v3 harness is a work of art

Tom (Atl) · 07-02-2008, 02:16 PM

Is the 135i / v81 install any different than the older 335i?
