335 had problems with fuel pumps and they had to take those cars back ... but on the other hand they could blame you that you didn't use the premium fuel and that's the reason why it failed.

most of those people who got their warranty cancelled were not smart enought and brought their cars with all the mods on them ... no wonder it was cancelled ...
The new iDrive software (PROGMAN) send turbo boost information to two locations. So when the car goes in for service they can tell if the car was modified even if you remove the product before going in. I have no proof of this other then people posting this on various web sites. I do know it is easy to modify iDrive to record the highest amount of boost ever used in a register for retrieval later.

The reason why Dinan is charging $2k for their chip is that they have to assume all engine warranty work. The chip is worth about $200.
