I think you know what that means


catlesss downpipe already shipped, tune and 7" intercooler will be next. Should be 400+ after that and will play around, then decide on future mods

2012 BMW 135i n55 with m performance package

Sits at 39,660 atm

only thing deciding atm is full exhaust or downpipe only

This is like the opposite of what I would do.....

Get performance upgrades right away while you still have warranty, don't take car to dealer for regular services, go to top notch brand specialized performance shops for your maintenance intervals (cheaper and usually more experienced brand enthusiasts and to avoid any warranty voiding).

If u get a problem, bring car back to stock and take to dealer for warranty work...

And then.... Once the warranty is over, ABANDON SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPP, SELL CAR, buy next one with warranty and follow the same steps....

Don't mod the car now and give it problems that will cost of you alot out of pocket because no warranty.....

But then again... obviously there are cars that never give problem and there are others with same exact model who get tons of problems. RNG will RNG...

you guys are acting like a downpipe and intercooling piping change is impossible. Go for the downpipe as a cbe isnt going to gain you much. If you have problems with the car just put it back to stock, reflash it and send it to the dealer..

They will
Just give the guy a tip and it will be ok

My dad use to work for a car dealer and for like 100$
He would use someone else guarantee and get your repairs done for free

It might be more tricky to do it now with all the new system but i bet it is still doable

My ECU also logs number of changes, but at least Audi can't do shit just because it shows there has been changes in the log as long as its the stock file when it goes in for warranty work.

Has worked multiple times on avoiding TD1 flags according to my performance shop mechanic who works only on VW / Audi / Porsche. I've personally haven't had to do any warranty service on my 2013 yet praise the lord knock on wood.
