Google Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. In the US and under that law, warranties cannot be 'voided.' BMW can refuse to honor a repair claim if the repair is necessitated by an unauthorized mod, but the warranty is still good.
In the case of Dinan, it covers its products for the same time and mileage limits as BMW; if the Dinan product fails and BMW refuses to cover the repair, Dinan will, up to these limits. By all accounts, this is an honest situation in which I'm aware of no one getting screwed. Frankly, am also not aware of any failures in the N54 with the Dinan flash either.
Finally, is not 'chipped' - is reprogrammed in the ECU, Dinan's firmware replacing BMW's.
