For those with JB4 and Aftermarket Warranties
Do you take the JB4 off before going to the dealer for something as simple as an oil change? Is there a possibility that the dealer may flag the car as having a JB4 during a regular visit so that if there's a warranty claim later down the line the aftermarket warranty company may be notified that the car previously had a JB4?
Or am I just too paranoid? |

It kind of depends on the problem. There is the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus...s_Warranty_Act) that you might want to read up.
But that's the price/time you have to pay if you want a warranty versus modifications. |

I never remove that OBD2 adapter when I go in for service. I just tuck the OBD2 plug inside the vehicle back into the lower compartment it comes out of (below the steering column) and the engine bay one I wrap up with the surrounding wires to make it look like part of the pack. They've replace engine/turbo components at the dealership when I did this and not once was it noticed.

I have an aftermarket warranty but I get all my work done at the BMW dealer. They have to wait a day because the warranty place sent a rep over to look at the car and approve the work.

Coming up on my warranty in May and looking at Route 66, I've heard good things. |

As for N55, it's awesome beside this oil leak but it's solid now. At 53k miles Last edited by Ickdeep; 03-17-2017 at 10:24 PM.. |
