Sorry to sound cynical, but this still sounds like the dealer replaces stuff but doesn't do the job well enough, gets paid by BMW for both. The private mechanic screws up, and fixes it for free, if that happens at all.

You don't sound cynical, you sound like you don't really know what you're talking about. The dealer would have nothing to do with a swirl flap actuator sticking. It's most likely due to oily buildup in the intake mixing with carbon from the egr.
