I've read this in other places while doing research and apparently this is a law in the US, manufactures can't deny warranty until they prove your mods are what caused the issue.

I thought the main thing is BMW has new ECU's that are completely locked... So you can't tune it even if you want to. |
That's true however that doesn't mean tuners won't find a way into the ecu. It's a computer and essentially every computer system can be hacked, it just needs time. But if you have a 2020 model you can tune it unless you have a certain software that locks that ecu but that's currently unlock-able you just need to send it in. Alfa Romeo did the same thing with 2018 builds that essentially had a firewall on the ecu but there was a plug-in that bypass it.
