Can't necessarily speak for BMW clutches, but in general they should last WAY longer, especially on a newer car. Only way it would have worn this quickly is if someone was resting their foot on the pedal whilst driving, therefore (potentially) partially disengaging the clutch, and causing slippage.
For reference, I bought a 2003 G35 6 years ago with 88k miles on it (unknown mileage on the clutch). I just sold it with 138k on it, and plenty of clutch drops and burnouts, and not once did the clutch ever have signs of slipping. That's 50k worth of driving on a previously used clutch over 6 years.
If the error was for the drive train, then how is the clutch not considered part of that...? Seems to me like the dealer is trying to weasel their way out of paying for a new clutch.
