Are we at the point now where the warranty is becoming irrelevant / useless ?

Depends on how much of the engine you are rebuilding. Parts availablity will still be an issue it would seem, so that obstacle would still be there. Seems mostly top end issues with the S54, and a few big end failures (probably caused by the top end issues).

Real shame these issues are cropping up on a truly iconic BMW.
