Softwar/chip that doesn't void warranty?

Is there a Chip/software for the e90 330i 2006 that wont void my 50k mile warranty? Is Dinan the only one?
If I remember correctly Conforti "shark" software for the e46 had a way of turning it off when you took your car in for service. That way it didn't void and it was the best software for HP gains.
Oh, and if anyone has a rep gruppe m for sale (less than 400 shipped) let me know.

Pretty much true. There's no such thing as free lunch. If you want the power and warranty..get the M3.

You can get any ECU enhancer such as the Procede, SS TT, Juicebox, and AA Xede and uninstall it before you go into service. They're suppose to be 'undetectable' so if you do not leave hints of having something hacked under the bay, ie broken clip or exposed wire..you should be good.

Whoops, I didn't even read that the OP has a non 335i. If you have an N/A car, a tune is not even worth it. Just get an exhaust and intake, and call it a day.

That is why none of the sponsors returned your PMs. Aside from intake,exhaust, and intercooler (?) there is not much more you can squeeze out of a 330i.

Well thanks for the reply's guys....good information. I thought there would be something worth while. I guess if I get anything it will definetly be the dinan...although for the price vs. gains it doesn't seem worth it. The intake is a must but I think i'll skip the exhaust. I dont like how loud the inside of cars get with an exhaust installed.

By the way has anyone done the dinan stage 2 on there 330?

A tech at my dealership told me there's a bulletin going around about that. Now when they service your car, they can detect boost spikes from the turbos. Kiss your warranty goodbye.
