I don't think that (pitting) could be true, and I wouldn't worry if it was. What they saw was probably carbon. I would also think this engine has a warranty whether or not it's the original or a replacement . The cylinder walls can be viewed through the spark plug hole with inspection camera if it becomes necessary.

If there is pitting in the cylinder walls the metal alloy may be faulty. Either that or you let the car sit for a few years and the cylinder walls rusted. I would hit up BMW for a new engine.
