Max2000b is bang on the money here.

Typically a remapped/flashed ECU will be detected by a checksum error when and if the BMW dealership plugs the car into the diagnostic tools.

However, not knowing if this shows up as a big read light on the screen or it has to be looked for is another question.

I have the SuperChips remap on my 118i and I just have the car flashed back before it goes to the dealer. However as this map was developed using my car and one other it keeps the remap cost at a low rate. Otherwise it would be expensive.

Still, cheaper than warranty work.
