I'm all in for modding (have modded the last 3 Subaru's I owned), but tell me there's something different in the US compared to the UK with how the warranties work.

If I bought a new X1 in the UK and started to change bits or mod parts within the 1st 3 years... without BMWs permission or use non certified BMW parts... my warranty would be toast!

It seems you guys state side either have very understanding dealers, or it's just not an issue if you have to make a warranty claim.

Take the LED type mods we've seen. I think they look great and will be looking at doing that in the future, but if I did it now and then had to make a claim under warranty for something electrical, my dealer would tell me to go away politely.

Just interested to see if warranty claims get honoured on modded new-ish cars in the US.
