Sorry, but you are wrong.
Every manufacturer sets out
requirements that you must comply with in order to keep your warranty intact.
Accordingly, it is your obligation to show that you complied with the warranty requirements. A non-approved oil is proof that you did not comply with the requirements.
Contrary to Amsoil hype, BMW does not need to prove that their oil caused a failure, they need only to ask you to prove that you complied with the warranty requirements.
