In the case of a car, which cost tens of thousands of pounds and would be expected to cover well over 100,000 miles during it's lifetime I would expect the warranty to reflect that!! Failures at sub 50,000 miles are unacceptable...hell I think anything like this failing at less than 100,000 miles is out of order, especially when they cost over £1,500 to set right.
Stories like this might put me off buying an E92...

I agree, although white goods like fridges are generally held to have a 'normal' life of around 5 years.
These failures are premature, hence the 'goodwill' gestures by BMW.
