I kept them for the chance of thinking they'll be rebuildable one day. I also hoped I'd get a refund, but since I bought them aftermarket and paid someone outside the dealership, I knew better. Fortunately my buddy hooked me up there with the BMW recall. While I'd replaced the PCV lines, he had the cats, plugs and everything else back together before I knew it, so I gave him $200...so even at $1100, we're in the same boat in that it's still FAR less than what I've read of others paying. Now I just need to sell these 8 to recoup my costs.
Good to know. If one of mine fail, I know where to look.
