That's bullshit. BMW can't void your warranty over installing a cold air intake. I've brought my car to the dealer several times when I still had my AFE CAI on and they never bothered me about the warranty at all. If they're going to void it they must prove it first that the CAI is harmful or is damaging your engine.
Where's your BMW dealer located? and what brand CAI do you have installed?

BMW cannot do that just because you have a CAI installed. They must prove that your CAI caused a specific issue with the vehicle before refusing warranty service. Bring them a copy of the magnusson moss warranty act.

Which dealer did you visit? So members here can be aware of it if they go for service.
