My Ride: 2007 BMW E60, Titanium Silver with original BMW Mtec front, aprons, M5 trunk cover, badging, de-chroming, M5 steering wheel, M5 mags BBK JBT 380 mm 6 pot front 355 4 pot rear / Eibach Pro Spring Kit - ICE - Genisis LOC converter, Alpine Multi Media Manager, DLS Ultimate Big 5 amp, Morel Elate 6 front speakers, MB Quart rear speakers, 2 sets SEAS Lotus 10" subs, IPOD interface via Harman Kardon Drive+Play, Critical Mass 10 Farad power capacitor, best of both worlds... Also Bluetooth interface, M5 original sport exhaust, M door sills, and more...
Planned to upgrade to H&R sport or ACS springs, BUT dealer told me this would void warranty. He went on to say that most springs cannot be fit to the self leveling system.
Anybody with this experience or suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
for example, i read in europe (or maybe only in uk), acs parts are offered and installed by bmw dealers due to acs's relationship with bmw gmbh, yet that doesn't exist here.

by self level suspension, do you mean active roll stabilization/dynamic drive?
not sure on dealers' policy in thailand, but over here, even though some dealers say the same thing, legally they can only void your warranty if something goes wrong and they can prove that the aftermarket part caused the damage.
dinan is american and is not well known outside the usa. their warranty is probably due to their relationship with bmw north america, not thailand. its probably a regional thing and i doubt his dealer would honor it.
