Any mod "friendly" SoCal BMW dealers?

Longboarder · 07-07-2011, 01:48 PM

I will be needing to take my car for service soon, and not looking forward to the time/cost to unbolt the chip, dci, dps, meth, etc. I've done this every time with both my 335's and it's just a pain.

It's just service...there are no issues with the car. Understanding that the tech may make note of all the mods...are there any dealers that will perform the service and have techs disregard mods? I would switch to valet mode in the Proceed which makes the car run in stock mode for all the tests the techs perform.

Thanks.

You need to remove Meth / Procede 100%. But DP/Exhaust/Intake might be fine at some mod friendly dealers like Center BMW. Nothing is ever certain.

as long as you remove the chip and etc... my dealership doesnt care about the bolt ons such as exhaust intake and headers... i got to Alex Caciedo at South Bay BMW

Thanks, but the dps are catless and will throw a code and the SES light without the Proceed...so if I keep the dps I will have to keep the Proceed connected and switch to valet mode.
