If I service my car outside of the BMW service center lets say at a indy shop that specializes/works on european cars, is my warranty still valid?

I'll be coming up for my first service for the 2021 BMW X5 in July 2022. I know the dealer charges more for their services compared to a private shop.

I'm in South Korea with the X5 and was thinking of servicing it at my local indy shop. Assuming they are specialized in BMWs, etc, I wont need to buy my own oil online to have it shipped here, to bring to the indy shop.

In the US, the warranty has nothing to do with where the car is serviced. In other countries, regulations might be different.

Ditto for Canada. Your warranty is not impacted by where you regularly service your vehicle.
