Today I took my car to get service with mods on
Got a low pressure fuel sensor code weeks ago.(from JB4 code read)
I decided to get it fix while still covered by CPO. 49.7k/50k Since I'm very confident that none of of my mods would cause that, I took it to BMW dealer and they fixed with all the mods on. (JB4 disabled MAP0 ) First, they told me without the check engine light on, a inspection needs $150 to do. (I told them the engine had a few rough start up, and I scanned it with a tool that I borrowed form a friend) Then I asked the adviser to talk with the mechanic about the mods that he will take out, and they actually let me into the workshop to inform/show the mechanic some areas they need to be careful with. (mod's washers, clamps and stuff) Took about 4 hours, they loaned me a Active Hybrid 3 to drive, since their shuttle cars were busy. In the end, sensor was replaced. They deducted $100 from the $150. So I paid $50 for the fix. They even rewired the BOV vacuum hose for neatness, which is awesome. Good job BMW New Country

That's awesome. I'd stick with the service department if I were you. My local dealer wouldn't even put on my supplied "aftermarket" brake pads when it went in for a CBS.

That's crazy. I went in for work (not warranty) that I was going to pay for and got a lifetime ban from my dealer...
that was about 3 years ago now.

Thanks for sharing this, dealerships vary so much in their approach to business and when you find one that takes a reasonable approach it's fantastic.

+1 for New Country BMW in Hartford. .
I bought my car there a few months ago, and had some stuff fixed under warranty shortly thereafter. My experience was also positive.
