You're kidding right? You are going to sue BMW because you screwed up? BMW
does offer protection against miss shifting, it is called an automatic. I
have shifted incorrectly in the past (from 5th to 2nd instead of 4th) and
it was because I man handled the shifter, I was lucky that nothing happend
but i NEVER would have gone after BMW or anyone else because of my apparent
inability to correctly drive my car. 

I suggest you treat your gear shift knob as it was intended (like an egg)
and not use brutal force in selecting gears.
