Hi, I have an E92 2008 M3 with a powerchip remap of the ECU.
Question is, when I go in to a BMW dealer for inspection i (or even just the 15,000 mile oil change) do they notice the remap?

If they do, does BMW void the warranty on the engine? Do they keep it on record so that even if you later brought the car back in for service and you remap to OEM settings, they'll know you have had the engine modified at one point?

Warranty is a big concern for me. Prestige BMW hates mods! (Even non BMW wheels, they'll shake their head at!)
