50k warranty is imho quite ridiculous. Some people could do that in 2 years highway mileage only.
Despite what warranties say little is known that some countries laws will protect you further than that.
For example a $10 watch vs a $100k watch. The more expensive item breaking down in 1 year or even 5 years is unacceptable.
The price, purpose and product will all determine what is reasonable on how long you expect something to last.
An expensive Bmw serviced and cared for as per manufacturer recommendations should not break down catastrophically at that mileage. If it does then it's reasonable to say that there is a manufacturing defect and should be picked up by the manufacturer.
