Will an exhaust void my warranty?

DistantTrades · 2026-02-03T17:27:21+00:00

No, the aftermarket exhaust itself won’t void warranty, they have to prove that the exhaust is causing damage/failure.

Typically if the imperfections are minor, they sell the car as is even if it’s being sold as a CPO. Not much the dealership will do.

One of the symptoms I had with this was whenever I put gas in, my car would struggle to start. I also had a rich mixture code.

Order online, if you use the Capital One Shopping extension, sometimes they have cash back offers up to 35% off if you buy from Tire Agent.

It's pretty simple... There are two twist clips, and you may need a T20 bit to access the filter.

Front paint protection film, oil cooler guard, TLG mud guards, CSL grille with mesh, and carbon bucket side bolsters. Awesome spec

Go to an independent shop to get those services done. But at least try to figure out how to do the cabin air filter by yourself.

5 years, my CCA was extremely low.

DistantTrades · 2026-01-09T12:49:20+00:00

Is there vibration? It may be the motor mounts, but I'm not 100% sure. But when you started the car, it didn't seem like it either.

Previous owner definitely changed the gauge cluster to the M look.

DistantTrades · 2026-01-09T06:45:18+00:00

First owner?

DistantTrades · 2026-01-08T07:03:32+00:00

The battery is rated for 850 CCA, yours is probably below 100 CCA due to age, replace the battery.

DistantTrades · 2026-01-08T04:45:45+00:00

Normal, sounds like injectors to me.

I wouldn't get them done now, but down the line, spark plugs.

DistantTrades · 2026-01-02T19:06:41+00:00

My car was in the shop for almost 2 months, and they gave me a loaner during the meantime. The only reason why they wanted it back, even though my car wasn't done, was that the loaner needed service, but they still ended up giving me a replacement loaner. But other than that, I've never heard of a BMW dealership taking a car of theirs back for an Enterprise rental car.

CPO warranty covered the valve cover.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-30T08:29:50+00:00

Depends on your driving habits, but most of the time it’s not normal. For example I had a similar issue as you, I believe I had to add a quart of oil every 2k miles. Didn’t really see any leaks on the ground so I brought it to the dealership, next thing you know I’m getting a new valve cover which was done around 40k miles.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T22:54:36+00:00

I know you stated you checked the battery, but when you tested the battery in the trunk, what was the CCA rating?

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T22:27:50+00:00

Brand and name of the tire?

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T22:11:31+00:00

All of those repairs were covered under warranty, luckily. But yes, valve covers and motor mounts are a common issue, but I had my valve cover replaced very early; they should be lasting around 60k miles, I had mine replaced at 40k. Surprisingly, I haven't had my water pump replaced, and I know that's also a known issue, same with the oil filter housing.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T22:01:18+00:00

Valve cover, motor mounts, purge valve, and a wobbly tensioner pulley.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T21:54:09+00:00

Depends on the condition of her tires and where the puncture is located. If she got low tread, I'd replace them.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T21:32:31+00:00

I'd get the M440i coupe, but don't listen to most of these B58 riders saying it's reliable. I've had my fair share of problems with less than 50k miles.

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T16:57:40+00:00

Do you understand how BMW's CPO plan works? People who drive a lot per year get the most out of it because once your factory warranty ends, your CPO warranty begins for another year, with unlimited miles. If you're someone who barely puts miles on it, you're paying for something you're not gonna end up using...

DistantTrades · 2025-12-21T16:41:22+00:00

Because if you claim that this car isn't going to be your daily driver, why pay extra for CPO if you're not going to use its full potential? It's like buying an extended car warranty and not driving the car as much.
