I just apparently haven't found the right documentation.
I think their bail out clause is the one that refers to "Exclusions from coverage... ...wear and tear or deterioration due to driving habits or conditions".

They claim that race track usage results in a higher rate of wear, then mention that the M3 isn't designed for competitive motorsports (not the same thing), then say that "this wear is not covered by the warranty". So what does the "this wear" refer to? The increased wear they mentioned was the type of wear incurred from (general) race track usage, but the sentence immediately prior pertained only to competitive motorsports, and made no specific mention of wear rates. So it's a bit ambiguous.
You are right, the text is unclear and ambiguous in this respect.
