This statement is somewhat misguided and perhaps biased as well. Anytime someone modifies the engine, you are introducing additional stress beyond the original intended level determined by BMW to be safe. Yes, there has been many prior cases where the same mods have shown to be problem free, but every car is subjected to different usage. To make a definitive statement that the mods did not cause the failure is being naive.
The best bet for the owner is to approach the dealership for a good will repair at a reduced rate. But the better question is will the owner trust the car on track anymore with the same mods?
