This is the problem: BMW decides that it's more cost effective for them to warranty and replace the pumps rather than doing a recall. That's all great, but it doesn't address the issue that it could leave you on the side of the road and in a risky situation.
Volvo made the same choice several years ago with their failing ETMs. Instead of a recall, they simply extended the warranty on the failing part.
In both cases, the manufacturer knew the parts are questionable but with bean counting have decided to replace on an individual basis.
Once someone gets killed or seriously injured, only then will they be forced to do a recall.
None of this ever sits well with the consumer.
