@machinedriver5 жыл бұрын
Hey John, many thanks for this very informative vid. I like the idea of simple and safe ECU mods because I want to reprogram out many of the annoying boring default features of my car. The only thing is, that I've spent a lot of money (with a renowned firm) on a remap to get my 435d from 310bhp up to 400bhp already. I've gathered from this vid that the bimmercode will reset to factory settings before adding any new features so I would assume that it would wipe out the remap I've already had installed before updating my new preference. Is this the case? Would I end up losing the newly gained power just to, for example, turn off the auto start/stop function or door opening functions? Thanks in advance...

Also I'm wondering if making changes nullifies extended warranty, can any one tell I've been hacking the car 😊.
