At least in the USA, BMW will void the power train warranty of the vehicle and it will be flagged as such. A owner on the forum I believe back in the 2019 timeframe had such and issue with his M5, the M5 had a tune and the engine needed to be replaced. Long story short with labor the engine change through BMW was around 50k. I believe the owner sent the car out of state to a repair shop and I still believed it cost him around 30 - 35k. He still had problems with the vehicle once it was returned to him.

The sad side of tuning - Flash tuned BMW F90 M5 blows motor and BMWNA denies warranty, wants $59,500 to repair
