It's the engineer in me that needs to know the root cause of the failure but it's the dealer experience in BMW that does not probably want me to have that information. I get it and probably don't blame them.

This car and I are getting off to a rocky start but I'm hopeful.
Glad to hear it's all taken care of! Enjoy the X5M and new engine(after you finish the break in of course...).

My indie submitted the work to my warranty company on Thursday, so we'll see how they respond early next week. I'm tempted to contact my local dealer and see if they would be willing to do anything like what you had done, though I'm guessing they will just laugh at me...
