Not if the problem is determined to be operator error or neglect. So despite the apparent very poor design decision to place a vital module below a cup holder (which could see moisture/liquids), leaving a partially full disposable cup for an extended period of time or even spilling a liquid in that spot would still be considered operator error or negligence. That said, if this issue happened enough (or worse, someone gets hurt or killed as a result of this poor design), BMW could be forced to address the issue - but the issue is not there yet…

Not defending BMW on this, but just calling it like I see it most likely playing out IMHO…
