Dinan + Bov kit and BMW Dealership?

mkPOTO · 09-03-2009, 07:15 PM

Question anyone have this combo and gone in for warranty work at BMW and get shit for it?

Kroy · 09-03-2009, 07:21 PM

I'd suggest taking off the BOV. My dealership ain't cool with BOV.

persian54 · 09-03-2009, 09:17 PM

Dinan will vid your warranty if you have a BOV

they'll void the warranty if you have anything non-dinan on ...

X 2 .......

why did you even put the Blow off valve on the car? Read your warranty paperwork next time.

Zeph · 09-03-2009, 11:24 PM

ya with the Dinan tune don't forget you have to use Dinan gasoline too... it is 91 octane with 15% ethanol and costs $2000 a tank.

Since you have Dinan, don't let any dealer or any Dinan related tech find out you have a BOV

or there goes your Dinan warranty...

kyleb350 · 09-04-2009, 03:13 AM

I was told not to have my BOV on if I brought my car to Laurel BMW... in case you were going to bring it there

...that's only for problems that it could be related to. I can get oil changes and the minor stuff done w/o worry.

Borsig · 09-04-2009, 05:09 AM

BOV does nothing but add sound on this car.

My peronal opinion aside on the BOV, its a huge red flag you are messing with stuff. Lots of people put exhausts on... Not so much with BOV's. Ive yet to see a 335 locally with a BOV.

mkPOTO · 09-04-2009, 09:18 AM

I took it off last night and took it in. Thanks for the advice guys

To set the record straight, Persian54 is incorrect. The Dinan warranty is not voided by installation of other after-market, non-Dinan parts. We will deny a warranty claim on a given product only if a non-Dinan part causes the failure of that product.

ToadHollow · 09-09-2009, 02:33 PM

Basically, with regard to Dinan warranty .......... remove "BMW" insert "Dinan" where applicable.

Too many people afraid of warranty claims being denied .........

I know that BMW will not CPO a vehicle that has/had the Dinan previously installed. I purchased the Dinan flash AFTER I had purchased the extended warranty thru BMW for the car itself. Nothing (as far as I know) is/has been changed with regard to my extended warranty.

Good question though .......

dam that blows they should at least extend other things then the engine..

You can purchase a extended warranty even if you have Dinan software. However, if a problem arises from the Dinan tune outside of the original 4y/50k mile warranty the extended warranty will not cover the damages if any are incurred.
