Luigi525td are you messing about or actually stating a Fact??? which one as im confused...
MESSING AROUND BIG TIME ... as for an SA advising that a burned cd could void warranty - how the heck does the JERK think the original CD was created (OH - maybe it was FROZEN instead of BURNED!)

Lol...i swear down i was talking the same about this with my colleague an hour ago...
I'm going to speak to BMW head office in Brecknall and see what they gotta say as i think its all BS...but the funny thing is my CD wasnt ejecting from the main Head Unit a few weeks back and all my CD's were burned CD's (even the ones in the CD changer) but they still replaced the Head Unit, CD changer etc and didnt complain about it being due to copied CD's, they had to programme the whole thing after install which took them a whole day...
And now when i tell her that i could play MP3 before but now i cant play MP3 after they had programmed the car she comes up wid dis cr@p..

Capital "B", Capital "S"
Besides - how is BMW going to know if you used a copied disk or not?

+1 Sometimes it's surprising how ridiculous it can get. I met one retarded SA before. He did not know what mp3 CD was

I think this is a simple case of incorrect SA training. I bet BMW must tell them about copied Nav discs and how it slows the iDrive down etc and then someone makes that rule apply to all discs.
