EMC Abu Dhabi voids warranty for ANY mods???

Hi Everyone,

Have lurked for a while doing research and this forum has been a great resource, and now wondering if anyone has had any experience with Emirates Motor Company (EMC) in Abu Dhabi.

I took my 2013 C63 P31 Coupe (bone stock) in for the musty odor smell coming from the AC, and I was asking the service coordinator a few questions about some of the more popular modifications that are made to the C63 (resonator and/or secondary cat delete and aftermarket LSD were the ones I asked about), and she was adamant that any modifications whatsoever would void the warranty from EMC.

I could understand if I was asking about an aftermarket ECU tune, but resonator delete? LSD? From what I've read on this forum dealers in the USA never have a problem with these mods.

Anyone have any better luck EMC?

Cheers!

Well i can confirm thats true and if you follow my posts be careful what they are doing on your car cause they will try to rip you off for a not necessary jobs. Its not fair cause if you buy BMW form Abu Dhabi you can do PPPerformance tuning and keep the warranty

Ha ha ha i got them and till now they were admiring my biger wheels but im sure they will not like my other stuff but after last service i dont think so they gonna see my car again. By the way guys chec you engine mounts after 14000 km and some track days one of mine was completly gonne and of course during a service they didnt say anything about that. So they do only what is written on a paper but they dont check a car properly

If you want to service your car in Abu Dhabi I'd recommend taking it to ALMARAGHY Auto repairs in Musafah they work on MB cars only you'll find most AMG's serviced there. They installed my Weistec intercooler and did A0 service 2 weeks ago.

We have a good relationship with EMC dealers in AD. OE Tuning is the only tune recommended by the EMC dealership that will not cause any warranty concerns. Also for service like Faris said, ALMARAGHY can take care of you.
