My Ride: 2008 535i Monaco Blue 30k
Sport | Ipod | Nav | Cold Weather| Ipod | HUD | L7 |
Hi,
So just got my Certified 2008 535i
with warranty until 2013 (Sport, Nav, Sat, Ipod, HUD, Premium, Cold Weather) and I have somewhat of a mod bug and was looking for some ideas on what I can do to the car without voiding the warranty. So that would basically barr anything electrical im assuming.
I have already upgraded the wheeels to 172s with Continental Extremecontact DWS and its a such a huuuge difference from the stock Dunlop RFTs on 124s i had on earlier, but what else can I do without cancelling the warranty.
Thanks!

technically any mod could possibly void warranty repair, so long as your aftermarket part/mod is proven to be the cause for repair.
that being said, cosmetic mods rather than engine performance mods would be the "safer route". Since you've already swapped your wheels out to OEM 19" wheels, an M tech aero kit would be my suggestion.

aside from OEM there are replica kits as well that are slightly cheaper. As another stated, spend some time using the search function and or browse the parts, mods, & accessories section along with the vendor classified section.....this topic has been discussed very often and you'll find a god amount of info you take the time to looks for it...

My buddy got coding and the lights done from you recently on a Platinum Grey 535, not sure if you recall.
Whats your price on the OEM M-tech installed ? Bimmerzone has the parts for $1350 + shipping
Also what about m5 fenders ?
