I see the logic in not building to last past warranty, but the actual logic would be to last at least as long as competitor's regardless of warranty. Gotta maintain a reputation.

BMW isn't building cars for 2nd owners and people buying out of warranty.
The only people they are concerned with are the people buying/leasing brand new cars.
The cars depreciate to half value over 5 years... no money to be made with the peasants.
Selling and leasing 40-100k dollar cars to people that can afford new ones every 3-6 years is where there bread and butter is.
Good to know the diff fluid is changed, that is one of the few pieces that in break in if it sees a lot of abuse can create quite a bit of metal, but thats what the metallic drain plug is for
