Can I Refuse Software update?
Can I refuse the software update when I bring my car in for its first scheduled maintenance with the dealership? I have 2900 miles on the clock and will be purchasing a mission performance tune. I don't want them to lock out the tune when I bring the car in. It is a lease, and not a purchase.

Of course you can. But you also can't really make any complaints about issues you're having if they relate to iDrive.

Yeah since it's still a new gen car I'd say the updates are going to be important and probably fix a lot of bugs etc that you'll be otherwise missing

I just spoke with Alex at Mission Performance as I successfully flashed my M340i a week ago and asked if the dealer now updates/flashes my car, will it then lock my ECU forcing me to send it to MP. I'm having the known iDrive/Car Play issues and want the dealer to try to fix it. Alex said if I flash it back to stock and leave it "Unlocked" then it should protect it no matter what the dealer does. He did say there was a very "minor" chance the dealer could cause it to lock. I may be the guinea pig and do this.
