If the dealer is an a-hole they could void it though, but they'd be hard pressed to prove an intercooler caused any damage to the engine.
And intake however supposedly allows more air in which could be interpreted as allowing more air than what was intended.
Skip the BOV's anyway, they are ricer like on <$30k cars, just plain silly on a BMW
Depending on what bov you plan on using. Some are made to hold more boost than a stock one so if your looking for performance upgrades this may not be a bad idea, but if your looking to a "sound" then yes I agree with the op that it's a waste of money and time and basically gets you unnecessary attention.
