It depends ... the approach I'd take with a car that was maintained by the book and there is no indication of "damage" that a headlamp assembly as a safety component should not fail in fewer than 5 or so years - ESPECIALLY on a BMW!
In my opinion, even after warranty, BMW should help by picking up [a %age of] the cost of parts. Swapping out a headlight is a 30 minute job - so labor costs are nominal. If your dealer can't convince BMWNA to play ball you could contact them directly.
Last resort, check the FS here - headlamp assemblies come up every now and then .. .. or check the discounted prices amongst dealers who offer members special prices.
