Just posted this in another thread on here but I guess due to the US bias it'll not get as much traction out there.....

I'm not surprised this has happened and I feel BMW may be making an example of the guy seeing as he has a following on social media etc. It's something that must be happening a lot these days. A lot of young UK car enthusiasts are doing this sort of thing and it must be costing the industry a lot of money. So many modified cars will be financed and for them to have the cars returned with dodgy engine and chassis mods must be a minefield when it comes to resale. Particularly as they may not be aware of them, as no sales exec is going to be looking for them prior to trade in.
On the flip side, I've modified cars lightly on PCP before and never had a problem, in fact the sales guys have actually seen the re-fitment of nearly new suspension, wheels, tyres and exhaust as a bonus to them....
