Lets just say I buy a M5 brake system and install it in my car. Will they still service it under the scheduled maintenance?

What about Brembo?

That's a good question. I'll ask my SA next week and see what she says.

I'm going to see my SA today. I'm pretty sure that the dealership will cover any work required if it's the M5 brake system since it is OEM. As for the Brembo BBK, I highly doubt it.

Ok, I suck. Went to BMW of San Diego for some quick servicing. I was in/out in less than 30 minutes and forgot to ask about the M5 brake system being covered if it's on a non-M5.
