I think everybody is getting too emotional over this issue. As with any production of complex systems that rely on parts from suppliers, there could be instances that the suppliers provided parts that may not pass QC -- remember such problems also happened to some planes made by Boeing and Airbus. The current oil pump problem is not a design flow but a parts supplier problem. I doubt that there is a car manufacturer (be it MBenz, Audi, Honda, Toyota, etc.) that check and put each part under test. Remember that a weak part in the entire system can break the system no matter how good the other parts are. I too am taking delivery of a new M5 and checking my VIN against the list did not find mine in there. BMW for its part is doing everything to correct the situation.
