Yes it will definitely void the warranty, my mate just wreaked his x5m50 cause of a re map so be careful, he took the map off and bmw still could tell he had been messing around with it.

So get it done properly

But yes it would void it, however itd likely be a year or two before anyonr cracks the ecu anyway.

And then there's a potential clash with SOTA:

Software Updates may not install correctly if your vehicle has non-standard
software or hardware;
(d) Software Updates will overwrite current software on the vehicle. This may
also apply to any third party non-standard software on the vehicle

Hi,

Managed to do a test drive (3h) of D200 yesterday, I have also done a test drive of D240 a couple of weeks ago and I think there is very little difference between these two versions.

The only time I was noticing difference in dynamics is on the motorway. When I was driving at 70mph and wanted to accelerate to overtake a car in front of me it was a bit slow, otherwise great engine.

Going to place an order for D200 in next few days, trying to get some sort of dealer contribution but so far I managed to get only £1000, the rest of the dealers wouldn’t even offer a pound off.

Who did you try? 3rd week in sept they may play ball to hit a target on a physical car.

Tried LR: battersea, Colchester, st albans, Watford, west London, north west London and my local Barnet.
I don’t mind waiting. Do think this will apply to factory orders too or only in stock cars?

Assume the MHEV for the Defender, RRS etc, will be based on the straight six diesel,
a few reports on the inter web suggest it will be available in D250, D300 and D350 form

Yes you could be right and my assumption wrong , I wonder what the price increase will be for an extra 10BHP?
