Sounds like typical dealer talk when trading/turning in a car, and not a BMW policy. The "additional stress" is within BMW tolerance levels, as that's another reason why Dinan tunes are so conservative compared to others. If they sell it, they should either tell you up front and make you sign a waiver or acknowledgement about the possible "loss of value", or not allow it to be installed on a leased car. That's just wrong if they didn't do that.
