when i was playing with cheaper turbo cars I always went with custom tunes as the gain + reliability were so much greater, but the S55 probably wouldn't be cheap to replace

If your dealer wants to find a reason to deny a warranty they will find it. Sometimes they will just look for physical evidence of tampering on the ECU box and that is enough.
Arguments about "undetectable" tunes is complete nonsense in 2013. There are hundreds of ways BMW can tell you to take a walk once you turn up the boost and try to file a warranty claim.
