I am imprest with the people at Autofashion. I sent an email today (sunday) to ask about the possible loss of warranty when replacing the exhaust, this is the prompt reply:

Stephen,

My understanding of European Law, and a conversation with BMW HQ by telephone has indicated that fitting of aftermarket parts will invalidate the waranty on that part alone. i.e. if you fit an exhaust then they will not waranty the original exhaust, and that they are not allowed to invalidate any other parts of the waranty.

We are currently awaiting a written response from BMW on the subject. This limited invalidation is only fair to BMW and to the customer. Further details will be posted on the website once we have them.

Phil.
