I didn't ABUSE the car, if I did, I want to see DATA that compares my driving characteristics with a standard "non abusive" list of drivers.How the hell else would they determined what abusive driving was and what an "aggressive" load was for the car???? What kind of "legal" official are you...?

You can drive the car any way you please. You can track the car if you want, it's perfectly legal. However, DON'T EXPECT BMW TO PAY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED WHILE DRIVING THIS WAY. You came on here asking for advice and are getting mad because you aren't hearing what you want to hear.

BTW, look it up.....BMW has denied warranties when launch control has been used too many times (which they considered abusive driving, see link below). So let's stop arguing about that, too. There are no points to argue. You can either understand that is their policy or you can be in denial despite evidence to the contrary.

Here is another story of a broken axle on the F10 M5.....from doing what? Flooring the car. Did BMW cover it? No.

It sounds pretty apparent you have beat the heck out of the car in the 90 days you have owned it based on BMW's position. If they did research and found out you floored the car once or twice, I'm pretty sure your car would already be back in your hands, fixed under warranty. Be lucky you didn't blow a $35k engine.
