I've had countless tuned cars and warranty work done on all of them, $30k of it on our 135i, absolutely nothing has been denied. As we've also covered, an APR Plus tune covers any powertrain issues that your dealer could deny if they did occur, so you're really not losing any coverage, you just have to deal with APR if an intake valve goes walkabout. |

What this reminds me of is when the 2004 STI came out and Subaru gave away a day at the track and then idiot dealerships tried to deny all warranty claims because they'd been tracked.
Many years ago I was getting my M Coupe serviced and my advisor came out with a sheepish look on his face and said he had a question. I really didn't know what to expect, but he said there were seven or eight recorded hits against the speed governor. He visibly relaxed when I said they were all at the track. I think he was trying to figure out how to have me tailed by a cop. |

I'll be over my warranty miles in under two years, so it's not a big deal to me to just run a tune from day one. But it's not for everyone, and as I recall, you're looking at a lease, so probably not worth it for that either. Although there are plenty of owners that run tunes on lease cars. We did on our X1 35i, but it was totaled, so didn't have to see if they cared. |

Shop GTI has over 20k on it. Tuned since day 1, under warranty has had 3 water pumps, shifter replaced, and many heater vent motors replaced. No problem from the dealers at all. I wouldn't want to own one at 80k, but for the first 50k probably not gonna be that bad and the engines are stout.
