    Just spotted this on mini2, looks like someone has finally got the definitive answer from BMW about how modifications effect warranty cover.

    It has been stated before - but it is worth knowing. It is however sometimes all too easy for them to blame something else.

    I know a certain dealer has stated it but it's the first time that I've heard it come direct from MINI Its a bit of a relief that someone has it in writing especially after the LPG conversion.

    Sorry should have reworded that - it has been stated on Mini2 direct from Mini previously

    As an example this one - this states that warrenty is ok but TLC would be voided. Myself and several other people have never had issue with TLC service either.

    Not a problem - its good to keep bringing it to the front as a lot of people are "scared" to modify because they feel they will invalidate their warrenty, some dealers have even told people that this will be the case.
