Are bmw setting themselves up for rusty cars in later years there?

I’d like to think they’ve thought all of this through but I wonder. They test cars over a period of a few years but not for the length of time that people actually own them.
It’s essential though for the visual trick of the car’s elongated silhouette. Otherwise the doors will start looking very 5GT height.
