All well and good but you are presuming your dealer doesn't make notes of modifications that they think are serious when the car is in for a service

Quite. This I know they do. My dealer refused to replace a passenger side curtain airbag under warranty after a random deploy when driving over a sunken drain cover. Without even seeing the car they knew it had after market suspension. Cooonts.

and you are assuming i dont know the service manager personally.

all it would cost is a few beers.....

i spat a shim on my e46 m3 coupe, matey told me to remove my nos, shrick cams and gruppe m ram air and it got done on warranty.

It would have been cheaper to do the shim yourself surely rather than remove the cams ( not that they would ever have noticed)

i'm not that good technically, i find it best to leave that stuff to the professionals.

i don't know about cheaper, from what I recall it was a 2-3k job. I spat the shim while doing some top speed runs on the autobahn for about an hour, and the moment i slowed down there was this awful tapping sound coming from the engine. I remember there were a few complications, and i was glad i did it on warranty.

Matey said as they are going to open up the engine it was best to remove the cams, so i did.

lol. i went down the nos route cos it was new to me at the time. and a couple of my mates had amg 55s and i had to even things up a little on the straights, but it turned out i did a bit more than even things out! it was actually bags of fun. wouldnt mind another car with nos, maybe an r32 turbo

never put nos on any of the csls i owned though. different car, different respect

You shouldve had the car trailered to them with no cams at all in it, that would've confused them :D

You could also claim that NOS is good for cooling down the internals of the engine
