So looking on the bright side, after driving for 3 - 6 mos affected cars will get kind of a 'do over' with a brand new engine, run in service etc.
As this seems to be something that has happened with many previous generations of M cars one can look to see if historically it has resulted in any issue with resale down the road. It doesn't appear that way.
just my contribution.....

Look at the e60 resale value. Their resale is significantly low, and that's considering the specialness of the v10.The e39 actually sells more than the e60. If you look at forums it's because the rod bearings need to be change at around 60k miles.
