Stainless Steel Water Bottle FUSED to cupholder

New 2020 X5 with heated/cooled cupholders. The car has only 100 (one hundred) miles...I got in the car one day, put my Stainless Steel Contigo brand water bottle in the left cupholder, put the "cool" function on, and drove 5 minutes. I parked, and when I grabbed the water bottle, the bottom steel lip of the bottle had fused to the bottom of the cupholder. I was literally in the car only 5 minutes! BMW wants $$$ to remove the cupholder and fused water bottle bottom. I have $25K worth of extended and special warranties, but none of them cover this (obvious) manufacturer defect. Any ideas? Contigo claims it's a BMW problem, and BMW claims it's my problem.
