Managers change all the time. A gentleman’s agreement, and perhaps even a written agreement could still leave a lot of room for issues down the road if they tell you the type of damage that occurred (allegedly) wasn’t of the type the provided guarantee applied to. That’s why this is so dangerous if you’re seriously worried about being denied warranty coverage for a mod. Even if you had that, if they really want, they will find a way to deny you.
As everyone here says, you’ve got to pay to play.

Agree, service advisor. The GM most likely walks into the dealership once a month to make sure the place hasn't burned down😂. You can also try the service manager, since they'd be above the SA, but realistically for most warranty work that bmw isn't questioning too hard your SA is the person that pushes it through to bmw to ask for the work to be approved. Now the question is who do you think is shady enough to say yes, your service advisor, the service manager? Because realistically if bmw caught them it would be fraud say if your engine blew with downpipe and intakes if they pushed for a new engine and "forgot" to mention you had mods. Now there are some things that certain dealerships will warranty like the carbahn stuff if they install it and whatnot and that just bounced back between bmw and carbahn on whose fault it is and whose paying and they'll just keep pointing fingers until you're fed up with it.
