This is not a fuse,
I read something by one of the engineers on the engine that they made it this way because they thought it would be easier to work on.
It has nothing to do with failing first before blowing the engine.
They didn't think they would be failing or spinning though.
I think thats most likely why BMW has now gone to a non removable design on the next generation engines
