My new car

Hi all, I've been lurking for quite awhile. I figured I might as well say hi and show you my new car. 2015 328i sport line. I had an e46 for several years and although I love it, i'm just tired of driving an 11 year old car with 200k miles. The f30 is a big step up and is absolutely brilliant, but, dang I want a 340i now!

Haha, I had my 328i sportline for a year and a bit before trading it in for a 335i.

The itch for more power was too much for me hehe.

Does that mess with the warranty?

The flash is discreet, doesn't show up on a flash counter the cars have built in to catch such 'activity'...lol. If you don't beat the living crap out of the car and race every one in sight, it should be fine. GSR has done a lot of testing on their program so it's reliable for the end user. Full disclosure, I don't have the programming/tune but they are the one I'd go with when the time is right.

Technically speaking, if you are altering the factory program, you open the door to losing warranty coverage on the engine/tranny if a major event happens to it/them. The only one that has coverage is Dinan since they are a major player with BMW. You have that option to play safely for sure if you went this way. They offer a piggyback unit that splices into the car. Tunes like GSR and ENZO are flashed directly to the DME/ECU and don't 'show' visually. You can do a search on them and see what forum members here have to say about each of them....

Congrats on your new ride regardless. The x28 is far from slow, but it's always nice to have extra hp on tap

I still have my e46. Its just been sitting around collecting dust outside. After driving my new f30 for almost 2 months, I decided to take the e46 out and give it some exercise, That thing is nearly a piece of crap compared to the f30..

Congrats !!
If you want more power start looking into the available tunes. You can do a stage 1 piggy that adds instant power and uninstalls in 5 minutes, stage 2 piggy for full features or flash tune.
