I think the only reason they will try to deny a claim is so that I can't lemon law it, even though I am not going to.

Dealerships have funny ways of trying to blame problems on parts that have nothing to do with it hahaha. You should bring a camera just incase they try and give you a excuse and record the funny shit that comes out of their mouths.

honestly, this whole thing stinks....
i mean the burden of proof should be on the dealers to prove that a mod was the reason for the failure, but all too many times, it seems its the other way around, with the consumer having to prove it.
they just deny coverage, and most people will just walk away and say oh well

mo and i was actually just talking about this today

mo said they will void your warranty for any silly reason possible

for example: using aftermarket springs causes more vibration while driving therefore, engine fails

so, my conclusion is, they can void your warranty on anything based on anything they want

if you tell them you had sex in your car and shake things up, they will void your watever warranty due to the alteration you've done to the original set up

i think that saying that might piss them off.

Since you said you aren't planning on lemoning the car anyways, maybe just let them know that.

Just tell them you like your car and you are not planning on lemoning the car. All you want is to get it back in working order.

Hopefully Sydney wont say anything haha. I mean i asked Long and Sydney even gave Long a extra OEM filter because they could not give him a new filter for his aftermarket gruppe m intake.

If they dont care about Longs intake, i hope they wont say anything about my simple filter!

I will say that, that sounds like a good idea.

All I really want is my car back

I've always thought of that in the back of my head. Someone should really open up a dealership that caters to the "modified bmw" crowd just like how all the modified subys go to Renick Subaru because of their known reputation for NO BS with cars that have mods. I mean the market for modified BMWs in southern california alone is soo huge, someone should really jump on it.

You can call it "Performance BMW" haha.
