So what if you DO take it to BMW and they see "Suspected Tune" then what. They turn me down for service? I'm sure people tune their cars all the time wouldn't they be used to this sorta thing?
Funny, I never heard anything about this when before I purchased BM3, everyone said "just flash it back" like a piece of cake but apparently there is a lot more to it.

It's because this is a recent update within this year that BMW has started doing. Before, yes...you could flash back to stock and they wouldn't know (unless BMW wanted to dig deeper)
No they won't turn you down for service. It's just forever logged with BMW...
If your motor blows...they ain't covering it. If there is any engine issue that can be related to the fact the car was tuned, you're going to have to fight them to cover it.
It's definitely made me reconsider getting the X3M tuned. Messing with a $30k motor, while under a lease is a little too much risk for me. If the motor goes on my MINI...well that's a bit different, much smaller $ we are dealing with
