Get the repair done and have fun, dont stress over it, there is a lot more things in life to stress over, a car is not one of them... I am sure GM will look into what happened. Would be curious when they read the computer, what they find. RPM at failure, temperature, ect.
The E38 cannot log what happened at the time of the failure. Especially since it wouldn't be able to toss a code in that short time period. Say less than 10 seconds. Most likely a similar failure to my engine with the seized lifter in the bore and causing PTV contact.
