Does BMW Warranty Cover Battery?

The "Battery Poltergeist" hit us this weekend.

My wife's 25 month-old Mercedes died when we went for a short ride to the beach on New Years Day. MB Service came to the beach, replaced the battery and set up needed codes within an hour at no charge no questions asked.

Yesterday, my 18 month-old X5d refused to start. BMW Emergency service (a local service station, not a dealer) came and jump-started it. No new battery. Took it to one dealer - "no replacement under warranty." WHAT???

Isn't it BMW that touts their 4-year, 50,000 mile warranty and service?

What's the story here? Anyone else have that experience? WHat was the resolution?

I'm going to try my local dealer tomorrow & then BMWNA if necessary.
