Will these small things void my warranty? What can void my warranty?

Hello all - I've recently been wanting to make some minor improvements to my G11 750i. What I've been looking to do are things like lowering links, and coding the car, but I've especially been intrigued to put it on lowering links. My question is, as I have bmw warranty left on the car until Oct 2022 will this void the warranty? What could void the warranty modification wise?
Thanks in advance!

Warranty wise, I would suggest lowering it just with software, because installing links is an aftermarket part that is immeadetly visable when they lift the car and if they want its automatic void on all suspension parts
By lowering it just with software all parts are oem and no reason for warranty void. They do not see the car is lowered when done properly.

As for the coding car you are all good and there ahould be no reason for them to void you warranty.

Gotcha. Didn't know these cars could be lowered via coding, thought it was only lowering links available available for lowering. Appreciate the info

You can use ISTA/D with enet cable to lowering it. There are a lot of videos on youtube for how to adjust the ride height on ISTA.
