Technically -
anything mod you perform to your BMW can have an adverse effect in regards to your warranty, it's a risk that you need to be willing to take. Programming or the use of convenience modules rarely results in anything that would ever require a dealer visit.
The autologic programming uses factory BMW code which is closely evaluated before release (we participate heavily through the years within their R&D in order to release new features to those within the autologic network).
Convenience modules are handy for more complicated features that BMW modules cannot perform or require the use of macros (in which a series of commands are performed at the same time). These can also be updated via USB by the end user and do not require a programming station.
Depending on personal preference - you do have choices. I would not let warranty paranoia will instantly ruin your overall driving experience.
