If I did register legal mods that will be a long list and loads of $$
I had over 60 mods on the car
This mean that no 1 will never get it register
I just took my stepwgn to get it full service for the last time and cost over $3500 just to change oil and oil filter.
but the 1 thing they did not fix was my wheel aliment.
the car was moving to the left a little bit and I ask them to check it out but they say the wheel is not honda spec so they will not fix it for free, they say it will cost me $1800 to do a wheel aliment and it is not 100% they will fix it.
They say if I register the wheels at Honda then they will fix it for free

I am acutally quite tempted on the big throttle body mod by Dinan.
However, I am starting to get interested with the light pulley... bro etchu? Any comment after using it for this long?

you guys should have seen my microfilter, pretty jammed up after 1+ yrs.
also if your car carries a smell, you would change it more often... or spray it super often like me...

so now you can appreciate how good bmw service is
if you just work in, they will work by the book which is fare.
my last BMW car I told them to change the sparkplugs but they will not.
They say if I what'd them change it would have cost me about $1200.
I asked my sale if I change my exhausts is it void warranty and yes it dose.
So they are all them same standard.

The virbation thing KC warned about didn't happen (or haven't happened yet, finger crossed), but after 3000km it still haven't happen and I would tend to believe it will not be an issue.

It depends, if you leave the a/c setting on "Auto" recycling or leave it open, the microfilter might get worst even faster.
also if your car carries a smell, you would change it more often... or spray it super often like me...

So sorry they are all the same to me unless you know ppl work there and get VIP service
