I'm curious, what oil did you use? I mean, if it was normal mineral based oil and you are going the distance that BMW recommends, then yes, it is possible that you blew the bearings as that oil can't go the distance. However, if you were using FULL synthetic (not the mix) then you should have been ok.

YEs....
If the spring in the bypass system fails, does oil pressure drop?
The dealer screwed up. In any case the dealer wants to put a screwing to this guy he does not deserve.
This kind of stuff hacks me off bad.
Here's a tip for everyone. If you run your car out of any fluid. Make sure to top it up before it gets to the dealer. Could save much grief later.

Right now it is sitting at Assel BMW Mini. The Service manager Josh told me that he was going to speak to a rep that was higher up than the other manager that shut me out. I talked to the C.O.O. of the company I work for and hes told me they better warr my engine or else he will get his good freind involved. His freind is chairman of the SEMA board. They will not stand for any company the pushes around the end consumer. He said we will go as high up as we need to go to get them to put in a brand new engine,With an extra warr.
Glad to hear you have some friends in high places. That is what it is going to take with teh dealer...man they don't like to be kind when your car need +$1000 in warranty repairs(clutch)...Good luck
Chris.
