I heard that it's only a problem for warranty remedial work if they can prove that what you have done has caused the issue. Insurance is a different matter but again, if you wrote the car off do you think the insurance assessor would take the car to BMW and get them to run a diagnostic on it and try to work out if had been chipped? And if you removed the "chip" after the accident and denied all knowledge it would be pretty difficult and costly to prove IMO
