The Chip / tuning box might come with a lifetime warranty, but the question is whether thechip/tuning box company will cover your engine/turbo in the event of it going bang, and BMW telling you to take a hike due to modifications.

If BMW reckon it takes an additional turbocharger, additional oil cooler, uprated oil pump to get that bhp, then I'd be dubious about the longevity on my engine from the tuning box modification.
But then again, I've got the 325d already
Could you tell us exactly how the 325d powertrain differs from the 320d to the best of your knowledge? This is very important information. Do you have a URL that details the differences between the two cars? Thanks!
