You already know, since you are a lawyer, that under the Magnuson-Moss Act a dealer must prove, not just vocalize, that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage. If the dealer cannot prove such a claim — or it proffers a questionable explanation — it is your legal right to demand compliance with the warranty.
It is, indeed a very bad legal position for BMW. You should be able to get this fixed or get a new car under the lemon laws...
