If they don't find any cause for the failure, they will blame it on improper break in (this is BMW of NA, not the dealer). At that point, you roll the dice that the BMW of NA rep is nice and does the right thing.

Its okay to doubt me. But do you want to take a chance that I am right? Have to pay for a new engine when somethings goes wrong and they blame it on overreviing the engine (i.e. not warrantied)?
