Yeah, no joke. Be careful with that, some dealers can be very "hard up" about voiding of the warranty when there's 3rd party software installed. Hopefully you'll find a BMW contact who is relaxed enough to "let it slide". I would test the waters ahead of time, sort of like "Yeah, I got this friend who got a software re-tune on his new BMW, what's your guys' stance on servicing a vehicle like that?"
It's bad enough getting your warranty nullified by 1 dealer, but I would imagine once they enter your VIN into the system there's a risk that other dealers will also know about it.
