Thumbs down

The dealer will have a field day with you if they find out about the chip and you have a related warranty repair.

I haven't run mine in yet but I thought the 535d was supposed to be the ultimate!
Why would you want to chip it? Don't you think its good enough as standard?
I would have thought a dealers reaction to you chipping it would be very negative.

YOu WILL loose your engine guarantee wo negotiations, if you go to Hamann or G-power you get additional guarantees, but then you have to take yourself to Germany....

Welcome aboard , fellow countryman! (pretty new myself here)

Had my previous 530d tuned with CTH. They give you a 3 jaar guarantee on installation, materials and performance. As an option, you can get a guarantee on the engine for 1 year at ? 125.
No complaints, but will go to Kempower this time, based on some advice from a friend.
