Other than the possibility of your voiding warranty, lifetime for your parts are shortened. There is more wear, gearbox has their own torque ratings, so I wouldn't do anything too aggressive.

I personally recommend leaving these heavily computerized cars along. Mine is fully stock 'cause I think I got enough power already. For my case Kart driving and track driving definitely improved my driving somewhat, and that improves the speed of the car overall.

Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for quick reply. I know these are seriously fast cars i wasnt hoping to go all out on one if i got one but i thought it would benefit from a map if an exhaust was fitted. Not fussed for more power just a louder 6 cylinder. Thats why im saving up already. Incase anything goes wrong should be able to afford the repair bill (but hopefully be under warrenty if i get it from AUC) i know this is voided by map and that.. thats why i was looking at bmw m performance exhaust.

But just wanted to know if anyone with auto and a map had had any problems.
