Just a week ago I took the chip off and it's still doing the same thing. I brought my car to the dealer today and after half a day the guy called me back to let me know that my car's warranty has been voided and that they couldn't and wouldn't do anything to my car for liable reasons. I told the guy I would pay for them to fix it, but he gave me the same answer.

So... I think I'm screwed. Anyone with the same problem or could tell me what to do or where to bring the car??

Thank you for reading
Warranty issues aside, if you are willing to pay for repair why go to an independent BMW specialty shop? Use BIMRS.org to find a "good" one in your area. They should have the diagnostic equipment necessary to accurately read the engine codes. These diagnostic machines are very expensive so the mechanic should be proud to show you his when you ask.
