Fire is a peril covered under auto/home insurance. If you buy a new home with warranty and it burns down who pays? Insurance or the builder?

It is the responsibility insurance to decide if they want to go after BMW to recover what they lost financially. Based on what insurance is out of pocket (remainder of lease payments) that isn't enough to bother unless every BMW they had started catching fire.

Now insurance companies hate paying out. If BMW's (or M5's) caused more then their fair share of claims they would simply chose not to cover them or charge enormous premiums.

I understand that BMW has not treated you in the fashion you'd expect but, IMO if you are a loyal BMW owner it should have been your dealership or regional BMW rep that should have stepped up plate to help you out, find another car identify the problem.
