You should write to BMW Corporate. I've written to them twice and they've replied quite professionally both times. Of course normally you'll get a standard 'thank you for... the cleaning procedure is described in... we remain at your...' boiler plate reply, but at least you can insist they seriously look into improving the current situation.
Any thoughts on a petition type letter ?
