Servicing M2 at BMW with aftermarket exhaust?

joecritch · 05-03-2021, 02:11 PM

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a common topic, but I couldn't find any answers (only ones relating directly to warranty).

Does anyone know what would likely happen if I took my M2 Competition, with an aftermarket cat-back exhaust ('Miltek GPF-back equal length'), to get its BMW service? Would the dealer potentially refuse to service my car? Put me on a naughty list?

Service is due in March 2022. I don't know if I should budget for book-ending my service with an OEM exhaust swap, or whether I should just not be concerned.

*Edit*: if anyone knows a BMW dealer (in or around North West England) who wouldn't bat an eyelid at this, I'm all ears

You'll have no problem with the servicing of your car. I've taken highly modified cars to my dealer with no problem. Had Bilstein B16 on at RIS

Thanks Nisfan! This definitely settles my mind.

Just take it to a good independent instead and get them to use genuine BMW parts and update the service history in idrive, cost you less £ and no flagging of the car for warranty purposes.

If you're in North West I'd recommend either Fixed Automotive in Stockport or DRW in Chester
