As noted in many threads and your new vehicle warranty, "alterations" to the vehicle's engineered specifications can void the respective area of the new vehicle warranty impacted by the alteration. An aftermarket intake would most definitely void your powertrain warranty.

It's very simple. If you desire your warranty, don't Mod. If you don't care about losing the respective area of your warranty such as the powertrain, then Mod to your heart's content.

Quote from your new vehicle warranty terms and conditions:

"“Damage which results from negligence,
improper operation of the vehicle, wear and
tear or deterioration due to driving habits or
conditions, improper repair, environmental
influences, flood, accident or fire damage, road
salt corrosion, alteration, installation of
non-genuine BMW accessories, or use of
improper, poor quality or contaminated fuel”

False information stated by technically challenged people in a forum can cost you dearly so when in doubt consult a lawyer regarding your rights and obligations under your new vehicle limited warranty. I do not provide legal advice. I try to help people understand technical subjects so that they can learn to help themselves.
