had jb2 nd broke oem tees, used diff ones. The one day bmw reps are looking at cars mine is there so i got screwed. wanted to void warranty right away but got it situated and have my warranty still.. they said that my car is flagged now? and thy also said they could tell someone tampered with the ecu. can they do anything if they can tell if someone has touched it? do u think they open up the ecu everytime i go in? my jb3 is sitting in my room and i never got to put it in and i want to.. BAD

Would you?

Put it in.

Step 1: Write that post out in ENGLISH and for everyone to read...damn

Step 2: You are Flagged, so just go to town.

[cu_north]

"tees"? Do you mean the wiring pins? Did you leave the JB2 in??

[luca335i]

put it in. Do a clean install/uninstall. No tape residue.

if the car is in fact flagged as he tried to explain with the broken lazy english, that is in the computer and can be pulled up at any dealer.

[smolik]

so as long as i do a clean install/uninstall i should be fine

Oh I see, that tee is a lot easier to see I suppose. Too bad they saw it. The way I see it is now that you don't have to bypass the boost solenoid anymore, install the JB3. Just pull it out when you go in for service. Its much less detectable than any aftermarket tee fitting.

What does flagged mean?

BMW NA will wait for your car to blow a turbo or something expensive before voiding your warranty?

A simple phone call to the dealer will tell you if your car has been "flagged" or not.

I have had friends that work for dealerships and flag vehicles all the time

meaning they put in comments on your record:

ie:

i go to braman in west pal beach FL are there any other dealers someone can recommend i live in between miami and west palm beach..

[Turkishexpress]

Just tell them that you had a boost gauge that was tapped from that location and that you did it the wrong way when taking it out worrying about your warranty. Tell them that you did not play with the ecu and wouldn't know how to anyway.

Try Vista Motors (Sample/441) The always take care of me.

[smolik]

ive been there too i think if i just make sure the uninstall is clean i will be good to go.

[David 12]

I would trade the car in on a new 335i or m3.

[sd390r]

yeah tell them you got a boost gauge and tried to install it yourself and fucked something up on the way out

[smolik]

they already know though that i had a tune in my car so if i tell them i had a boost gauge i think they can put 2 nd 2 together
