March 08 & After?!
I was reading through the threads in the engine modifications and came to something that doesn't sound so good . Somebody stated that March 08 builds and later have a new DME which will show BMW if a piggyback ever was/is installed..not good! I'm leasing my car and actually ordering this week ..but I wanted to throw some kind of piggy in, maybe the PROcede v3 or juicebox or something. I'm ordering the car no matter what, but I'll be depressed if I can't tune the ECU ughhhh. Does anyone around here know if this is true, or if there might possibly be a way figured out to get around it..

+1... I would assume that cars built before March will not get the new DME installed when you go in for service at the dealer... Just not sure if they update the software, if this will make a difference.

On top of that, Dinan does send your VIN# to BMW directly thus your BMW warranty on the specific components will be VOID immediately once you upgrade. There are no if/when the dealership finds out discussions with Dinan upgraded, Dinan makes that info available to BMW.
