Technically perfect car

2011 530d MSport
The car is a daily driver, has now 41k miles, mostly city traffic. No issues so far. Except current technical services, have visited dealer just once (a year ago) to fix a small "pulling to the right" effect. Completely fixed with KDS wheel alignment, now steering is precise.
This is my first diesel, and the best and most reliable BMW's I ever had.

steering failure

2014 520d 40k miles

total steering rack replacement !!!

I found 2 sheared bolt heads laying on engine under cover, and loud crunching from steering wheel.

10 days later a complete new steering rack, cost me £££ as out of warranty. Bmw only had a contribution to the parts.
I have kept the bolt heads, as look like metal failure and not shear force.

What are my chances in court with bmw, small claims for me to not have to spend any more big money?

Cheers

Only 3 minor issues during ownership, all covered under warranty:

1) Instrument cluster failure
2) HVAC control unit failure
3) HVAC illumination failure

The cluster was reprogrammed and resolved, the HVAC in-dash unit was replaced.
