Car is at the dealer now..
That's what happens when you only cold test an engine.

BMW has an ingenious way of stress testing your new motor after its production. They connect an electric motor to the engine and hookup lots of sensors to test the engine...without the use of combustion.

However, some temperature sensitive components may not be appropriately stressed, and this may be why the defect was not picked up in your car.
