So can BMW tell you’ve re-mapped your E89?

Short answer yes…
Longer story..
Second visit to a Mini main dealer with the current saga affecting the EGR system on B47 diesel engines..
Eventually sometime later in 2024 maybe 2025 they all will be retrofitted with a revised version.
That’s irrelevant to this point…
Once you’ve had your B47/B48/B58 engine re-mapped..even if you reflash it with a brand new BMW supplied code it will always show it was re-mapped..forever..
I did ask their technician about earlier engines..he said that about 5 years ago BMW implemented a new software system that gets invoked for all warranty claims…it’s not a dealer level system..BMW can remote in to the car.
They can determine any mods to the DME current and past including re-maps and piggy backs.
I guess for most E89s it’s irrelevant anyway as most folks BMW warranties have long expired..
