I have a BMW dealer 15 minutes away from me who appears to be the only Carbahn dealer in all of Illinois, so this would definitely be the way to go with warranty in mind.

He was also pretty straightforward about warranty work - basically if BMW rejects it, and it should be easy to prove if the tune caused it, then they would cover the cost. I don't think they would ever get into a lengthy argument who needs to cover it, or their partnership would probably be on thin ice by now.
That's awesome if you have a BMW dealer that would install it. If mine did it, would have been done a long time ago.

I have an amazing relationship with my dealership and service team.

Good luck and be sure to post your thoughts on the tune.

Not sure if you have a GPS time device, but I am sure a lot of other owners would love to see a comparison on a 0 to 60, 1/8, 1/4 and 60 to 130.
