It might give us some more details about whether or not ASS truly wears components out faster (as the Owner's Manual cautions) and what components, if any, have been beefed up to support ASS.

This is one of those cases where BMW's reticence to fully describe the system to consumers is mega-annoying.
According to BMW the starter has been beefed up to have a service life much longer than a standard starter. I don't recall the exact number, but there is a thread from a few months ago where we were talking about it. Do a search.
IIRC it was something like 5-8 times more starting cycles.
