I don't think the essence or intent has been modified here at all in the BMW authored statement. I believe all that has happened is that they paid some legalese and a copywriter to construct statements that while the same as always, sounds more ominous and threatening to help act as a deterrent.

Key here is the use of the words 'damage' and 'affected'. If you install aftermarket mods and they do NOT 'damage' or 'affect' adjacent and related parts in any noticeable, measureable way - no issue and fully compliant with MMWA.
