Is their failure rate that bad? You could buy 6 more and have cash for beer left over before hitting $822.96 (assume they'll ship that for free).

True, but time is money and buying a used component that seems to have a fairly high failure rate among several BMW models not just the E9X M3’s isn’t worth the hassle. If I wasn’t planning on keeping the car for another 10 plus years then I may gamble with a used part and roll the dice with the 30 day warranty.
However, I plan on bringing the issue up with my dealer to see if BMW will cover at least some of the cost before paying out of pocket. Since it’s a common issue and the car has such low miles. (I did drive the car today and had no warnings) maybe it’s just moody! Lol
