Most set to map 0 for basic oil changes and only remove for warranty claims. Also keep in mind a piggyback is the only way to guarantee nothing is recorded in the DME. Codes stored on a flash tune will contain the true boost target values which can cause problems if you ever have some really serious problem and BMW decides to interrogate your DME.
Thank you, but from what I have read, most people have no problems with this, correct?

Minor common problems shouldn't be an issue. If BMW gets involved for a serious problem like an engine repair, trans replacement, etc, then of course all bets are off. On the plus side the cars are generally pretty reliable as far as major things go.
