Rear main seal is a bitch though since the transmission needs to be removed, so doing the vacuum pump gasket is child's play since they're in there.
Isn't it such bullsh*t? although, they shouldn't necessarily care considering they bill the work back to BMW; hence the rear main seal replacement..They are literally about to bill BMW NA for an $8k repair (that's my guess for rear main seal replacement). I havent seen anybody on the forum with this problem, i've scoured google and the most i came up with were problems with different generation and model cars.

At this point, do you think it would be worthwhile calling BMW NA and opening up a case?
