Since you did the install yourself (i.e. not installed by the vendor), the absolute most you could get out of them would be a replacement caliper. Unfortunately, you're unlikely to get even that. The vendor (BMW or 3rd-party) will probably claim that it was damaged during installation.
If you have a picture of the caliper before installation, showing the defect, you'll be in a better position, but it's still going to take more than a little bit of your time to convince the vendor to take a yellow/gold caliper out of a new set and send it to you.
I can't see exactly where, or how large, that defect is, but I don't think you'll get a reasonable return on your efforts here unless the defect is huge and obvious from a distance. Even then, it will probably be a challenge to get a replacement.
Sorry, but I would advise that you just move on, unless you can get free legal assistance
