can my dealer read my codes and know i have an intercooler upgrade?

midlife · 11-09-2007, 06:05 PM

the only BMW importer for ecuador has a very simple warantee rule:
absolutely no mods or warantee is voided.

i am at 9,000 feet and think a intercooler upgrade will help.
PLEASE DO NOT DEBATE WHETHER IT WILL, I WANT an IC upgrade.

Question is will the dealer computer be able to tell that i have an intercooler upgrade? (thru air volume readings, Intake temps readings, or what not)?

thanks,

They can just look at your front bumper as your intercooler will be visible and will be able to see that it's not stock.

Computer is irrelevant as it's painfully obvious to the naked eye.
