Well your "case" is an interesting one and if I were you I'd do the water tests myself as well, and video-cam the whole process. (I mean, if they decide to play hardball).
 
Yes you can contact BMW customer relations and ask them to review the case, should it be declined. I think it would make a great court case myself but that's a real PITA.
 
Water could intrude through the tailgate seal, through the TAIL LIGHT gaskets, or through body seams underneath or in the wheel wells.
 
One way to test would be to line the area in question with newspaper, and then run through a car wash (including the type of wash that cleans the underside) and see what happens.

Question: This is my first Nissan that I bought. I included the extended warranty on the car. I bought the car a good distance from my home. We have kept up with maintenance on the car, however, we did not save the receipts for oil bought. I now have a problem with my Murano 2010, 28,000 miles, with white smoke when starting my car. I took it to the dealer and provided him with my service record of when we changed the oil. Because there was sludge in the oil, they want receipts for the oil purchased. We have only ever used what was stated in the manual. We were never told to save receipts for such things as oil, window washer fluid, air filters, etc. Now Nissan doesn't want to honor the warranty. The dealership won't even diagnosis what's wrong with the car. Where is it stated that receipts must be kept for 'normal' supplies for your car? The manual states that 'records' need to be kept and that the owner can do it, nothing about receipts.

Where did you have the oil changes done? Most shops or garages keep receipts.
 
Keep fighting. Nissan is trying to avoid paying for a new engine. Also here's a link to a similar situation: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100221091536AAmdIXV

Thank you for your reply. We didn't take our car to a shop for oil changes, we do our own. My husband has been doing oil changes for 30+ years. We cannot find it written on any of our paperwork from the dealership nor the owners manual and no one at the car dealership told us to keep receipts (since we refused other offers at the time like lifetime inspections because we lived so far from them) they knew we wouldn't be driving that distance for our maintenance. ....And still no one told us to save receipts.
 
We find it 'ironic' how we receive all these promotional things from Nissan/Dealer but never received any literature on how Murano's are having engine issues. It is a shame that we are only finding out now as we research our problems (such as the link you sent to us of the woman that owned a 2007 Murano and having same issues). It just seems our issues are not uncommon from what we have read from numerous Murando owners. I would have thought Nissan would have sent some warning out to have our cars checked.
 
As you can see, I am very disheartened by all of this by how much I have written. After all the money we have spent on this product plus the extended warranty only to find that Nissan will not stand behind their product after we have done what we read from the owner's manual to do (maintenance). If in the future you think of something else that would be helpful I would appreciate hearing about it.
 
So far, no one has gotten back to me as to where in print it is stated to save receipts in the owner's manual.

The dealer needs you to prove you changed your oil. A list of dates and mileages of when the oil was changed is just that: a list. You could have written that up last week for all they know. Dated receipts are a bit harder to fake.
 
If they're looking at a sludged-up engine that looks like it hasn't had it's oil changed in 2 years, they may have reason to disbelieve you.

Just an example of why an extended service contract is a bad way to spend money. Too much small print.
