You may work with a mod friendly dealer but when it hits the fan the fingers start pointing. I would make certain that if I got an extended warranty that the dealer puts in writing that they will honor it with the Dinan tune.
They have already fully confirmed it, this dealer was recommended by ACM to me, and their cars have everything from supercharger kits to custom exhaust piping to top-notch coilovers, in fact the main service guy at my dealer used to work at ACM, so he is A-OK with modded cars.
That right there is a 1 in a million dealership. All I had on mine was a cold air intake and Dinan stage 2. I took it in for a funny noise and the next day they tell me it needs a new engine at a tune of $16,000 and BMW wasn't paying a dime. Like I said, Dinan paid , but BMW made me take the cold air intake off of the car or it wouldn't have any warranty on the new engine. Another thing it's ultimately up to BMW if they want to warranty something. Here's my point. My local dealership always takes great care of me and I had a crack in my leather seat. The car only had 10k miles on it at the time. The dealer said no problem we'll order a new seat cover and replace. Then I get a call the next day from the dealer saying that BMW wants pictures of the seat before they warranty it. In the end BMW declined and my dealership said there was nothing that could be done. Just be careful. The dealership can promise you the moon since they're making money off of the warranty, but ultimately it's BMW's decision. I'm assuming you got the BMW warranty?
