outside influence means that it is beyond internal failure and the cause was not due to any of their influence.

I had the clutch and SMG control unit replaced under warranty by my dealer. They went just before 32,000 mi. Your dealer should cover it, unless you've been launching it.

Man, they are giving you a raw deal. A friend of mine dealt with a similar situation on an E55 AMG. His transmission failed twice in the original warranty period. First time was repaired no issue. The 2nd time, the dealer and MB Corporate chalked it up to abuse (hello, abusing a 400+ HP car? what the hell are these things made for?).
Persistence is key. He basically got a lawyer (which he didn't pay for, family member, might not be worth it for you to pay for the lawyers time), and went straight to the top. The lawyer called the corporate office until he spoke to some Public Relations person, who conducted a private audit of the persons experience/situation, and sided with my friend. They fixed the transmission again under warranty, but it took 4 weeks or something of fighting.
Don't give up on this, especially when people are saying they had their SMG repaired under warranty. I wish you luck.
