Tune and Warranty. Regrets?

Hi,

Very new to tuning.

My current setup is a catless downpipe and an intake. I do not plan on tracking or doing meth but want more.

After all the reading on this forum (thank you everyone), I very much want to go with BM3 along with upgrading my charge pipe and intercooler (mike XPH, I'll be messaging you!).

I understand tuning voids the warranty and I currently have 25,000 miles on the car. I did buy it pre owned and have only had it since roughly end of April. I have not had any issues or problems with it.

I very very much want to upgrade the above mentioned parts and tune with BM3!

I guess my question to the community is what is the likeliness of an issue occurring but not covered my warranty if I tune with BM3 given the current mileage of the car?

Of course there is always a risk of something happening and not covered. No one knows the future. But is there a high probability of something going wrong if tuned and not covered under warranty?

I thought of possibly waiting until some time around March 2020 to do this work to see if any thing comes up.

Has anyone out there tuned the car and issue happen that WOULD be covered but deal will not do since it was tuned? How rare is that?

Any insights and opinions would appreciated.

Thanks.
