I NEED 200 bhp. But I cant afford or justify to myself the JCW. I already have a Pipercross Induction and Milltek cat back but obviously real benefits can be had from a pulley and remap. I would be very grateful if any of you can answer some or all of the following questions for me:

1. How likely is a dealer to spot AmD's new black pulley wheel? i.e. is the belt a service item or is there any other reason they would need to examine it for routine servicing?

2. Has anyone actually had their warranty totally revoked for this kind of mod or has anyone successfully argued against this?

3. Could I remove the map itself for servicing so the car doesnt feel as quick if they test drive it!?

Thank you!

Re: item 3

The concept of the OneClick is that it's a box of tricks that enables you to switch between standard and performance maps at your leisure. Of course, you simply keep the OneClick at home.

I've left my OneClick in the car before, but the dealer didn't say owt, but then, my dealer is 'mod friendly'.

Have you got any other mods on the car yet? I mean, do you know how your dealer reacts to mods? If the dealer is 'ok' with it, then they'll likely not care about a pulley & chip.

Good questions. Anyone out there with the AMD upgrade ?

Its illegal for the dealer to just revoke your warranty.

probably not the best place to bring up the hole warrenty issue subject but My new cooper
S came with a re-worded TLC in comparison to my 2001 coopers TLC. I will bring in my TLC and update this tomorrow but it reads something like "any performace modification not approved by BMW / Mini will void the TLC"
