Stock 17 F48
Hey guys, I recently purchased a BMW X1 with 38k miles. I also got the extended warranty for 3 years/50k miles. I hear when in warranty, you really can’t do any upgrades performance wise. Does anyone know what mods I can do that won’t void my warranty?

If I was looking at a fresh 3-year warranty for my '17, I wouldn't even think about chipping the engine or modifying the exhaust (other than blocking the right exhaust flap open). Instead, save for set of quality rotors and premium brake pads, a set of non-runflats and a spare, LED bulbs all around, additional window tinting and read about enabling various "driver comforts" enabled thru coding. A nice upgrade for the cars audio amp and front speakers should be in the running too.

Cosmetic mods only. Any mod that affects the engine and transmission system could give BMW a reason to reject a claim.

There are some plug-and-play tunes (JB4 for example) which you can just take off before taking the car for service and tecnically BMW will never know you tuned your car. It is still risky though, and it is best to wait 12k more miles.

I have 5% tints all around on her . Also I have done some coding to it, like the lights at the door handling being on when reversing, etc.. but I was thinking of throwing it on air suspension once these stock suspension give up. Also, I’m looking into a nice set of Rotiform rims 19*8.5
