They prompted me to remove my ECU and send it to them so they could flash everything back to original settings and that nothing would be detected that there had been modifications to the ECU. I had to purchase about $1,000 worth of parts that had been cut and altered by Active during the install to mask the previous modifications. Once I got the ECU back from Active, I sent it over to the dealership on a flat bed.

This is why BMW doesn't trust anyone......because this is what we call FRAUD. Now, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but you pay to play. So once you mod a car and that mod is what damages your engine, and then the person who did the mod suggests that you try to "defraud" BMW out of their money because of something that had nothing to do with BMW......well that is just messed up.
This is why dealerships don't treat us fairly......this is why BMW is on these forums.......because people are dishonest and break the law.
Its why no tuner, will EVER TOUCH MY CAR......and if I ever did one day, and something goes wrong, I won't try to fool the dealership into paying for my gamble.
