Let put it this way, if a pothole did that sort of damage then you would have other sights of damage like a tire, front end out of whack, rim possible bent.

I can tell you I hit a pot hole at 40MPH took out the tire and bent the rim and not other signs of damage including wheel alignment.

Also if the axle came in contact with the frame of mounts there would be marks on the the axle, have them put it up on the rack and have them show you signs of impact like metal to metal.

If they can not show other signs of damage the only thing you can conclude it the bolts were over torqued at assembly.

Make them prove pothole or impact damage, because they make more from out of warranty repairs then they do for in warranty, they will charge you $400 but BMWNA will only give them $250.

Being in NJ your problem is not pothole but humps in the road.
