Chipping a 535d questions

BMW BRAD · 08-31-2016, 07:19 AM

Hey guys, I recently bought a 535d M Sport and I have to say, I'm LOVING it! I have been considering chipping it, but I want to find a chip that won't "SCAR" the computer, and void my warranty. I have a full and complete BMW warranty until 2020 and I don't want to have them try to void it because I chipped it. Any thoughts and ideas of which chip is the best, and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I know so far (could be wrong) but dealers can tell if the car has been chipped or mapped. Even if you return back to stock settings. Which yes voids the warranty on pretty much everything.

From what I was told by a guy I met at Bimmerfest, Burger Tunings Chips do not scar the cars computer, and leave no trace that a chip was ever installed.

No such chip or remap, they are all found as soon as your key is read, do not believe any tuner that says they can't.
Goodbye warantee .

I am working with a Tuner Company right now that claims they have a box for our 535D (USA) version. Check out my earlier thread.....

I will report back how it goes after the install.
