I want to know what happens when you have had chip tuning done, then go in for a software update and it includes new ECU software amoungs others

Does it just wipe out your chip tuning ?

Just push the day counter millage reset stick that is situated on your dashboard behind the wheel. Press it for 4 seconds. If a triangle apears with a ! sign in it that means its remapped.

Test it out

If no triangle appears its still original

Just tested it on mine. Triangle with ! comes up. Not tuned yet. Planning to go to Heinz 2nd week of Sept. (if I can finally find the time...)

ANY engine tuning (chip, supercharger or other hardware tuning) can be detected by BMW and voids the original BMW warranty!
The reason the tuning companys say it doesn't affect the warranty is because they give you a warranty instead. But that warranty is not the same, since it is a one or two, maybe three year warranty on their parts only. They will never ever tell you the truth, that the BMW warranty is voided, since they want to sell their products.

They can even tell you how often you used the remote to open the doors, how often you used different options, how you drive... They can see EVERYTHING!

Trying to find a problem with the power/battery in my car, my dealer was able to tell me when and how often I used stuff and how I drive...

This is very funny!! you should stay off the goji juices. They cannot tell if the checksums are correct or else the vehicle would not be able to start

I already asked about this and it is not an issue for my new chipped 545
