I did read some US threads dealing with this issue a few months back but I don't have the links to hand now - from what I remember BMW USA were also suggesting 'external factors', such as impact damage, as the likely cause but they did seem more willing to help the customer with the cost of replacement: Probably in the knowledge that if a case was brought in the US, the outcome would cost them a lot more than in Europe.
Unfortunately I've seen this sort of disparity in treatment (US/Europe) many times in recent years.

Ahh yes, the old Nikasil liners issue.
BMW Dealer: "Ahhh well there's the problem Sir. It's the fuel you see. Best not to drive em really but they do make a wonderful ornament".
