Nope. Completely incorrect.

If you install OE spec service parts, then BMW will maintain your warranty unless the parts cause a failure, in which case BMW would need to prove the non genuine BMW service parts caused the failure.

If you install parts intended to alter the vehicle from the OE specs it was built to, then BMW can and will decline warranty service as stipulated in your conditional new vehicle warranty. The MM Act does not apply to alterations, just OE spec service parts.

If in doubt consult your lawyer. He'll be glad to explain the MM Act to you and why it does not apply to alterations.
