How long do you typically have from when it starts to fail, to when the car is no longer drivable? is it usually asymptomatic right up until it fails, and then your screwed and stranded?

The only conclusion is that it's not if it fails. It's when it will fail.
Some have been lucky. Most have not.
It usually starts with a long start or stumbling idle.
I'm sure BMW has way too many of these to make a better one so that's why they increased the warranty with those to 100k miles.
