I brought the car to dealership , and they claimed it was bad fuel injector that caused the engine to act up strangly.

This morning, they called again and claim that because i have the methanol injection in my car. that is the cause for Fuel Injector went bad, and they said they will void my warranty.

Are they allowed to void warranty without diagnose or they can do it because the detected mods ?

Please help me ! And thank you for all the answers
People have had their warranty voided for having an aftermarket intake (consider how ludicrous this is when BMW actually sells a performance intake). There is an act of Congress called the Magnuson-Moss act.

The gist is that the dealer has to prove that the damage was caused by the aftermarket part. In your case, you are doing meth injection so they can directly correlate that to engine damage.

Its always better to remove your mods before you car goes to the dealer. Mods like meth injection are best done after your factory warranty has expired.

Take your car to a shop specializing in BMW. Most have former BMW mechanics doing the work:
