[QUOTE="popeadrian, post: 155356, member: 2065"] Dude, errr....in relation to the warranty only being invalidated by 3rd Party aftermarkt products that are the direct cause......that is only the case in the states and in the UK. Not so in M'sia. In this fine multi-racial country of ours, a warranty (depending on the make of the car, so this is a general statement and not specific to any particular make of vehicle) can and usually is invalidated by even the smallest of "add-ons". Take for eg. if one purchases a Honda, where the warranty can be invalidated by the owner changing the rims of their vehicle. In the case of BMW's, the "official distributor" can invalidate the warranty if the car has any product/add-ons that were not originally installed or has been installed by their personnel. Eg. in theory, changing your stock suspension to an M-sport set at an "unauthorised workshop" can invalidate your warranty. In short, COnsumer Laws work very differently here. As for the "leasing" issue, that's a "concept" that hasnt quite caught on in M'sia unlike the States where its a bit more common. :yes: :yes: :yes: [/QUOTE]
