All that said, it doesn't matter whether your dealership likes you or even believes you for that matter. More than likely BMW corporate will send a regional tech to your dealer to review the car, and once they plugin to your DME they'll see the boost and other parameters you exceeded and deny your claim. This exact same thing happened to a guy on the M3 forum because of a slipped crank hub, but BMW corporate ended up splitting the repair with him 50%. Its better than nothing.

Of course, if none of that works you can always do an LS swap.
just a warning to the OP, this is technically considered fraud.

I havent heard of BMW prosecuting anyone for this...but you never know. You can be talking the BMW corporate guy...whose wife decided to divorce him and take his kides that same day..lol
