Picked up my car today0- it was in the shop about 3 days. I did have to pay my CPO deductible, but I'm ok with that because the whole thing was handled without hassle. No big deal when you get a loaner. Only odd thing was that the radio was set to an AM station when I picked her up.

I was under warranty the first time and am under CPO this time, so I don't know if I'll have to pay the deductible, but I'm very happy with Autohaus BMW for how they have handled this. They took care of it on the first complaint each time and always provide loaners.

BMW needs to give up on the lifters and go straight to the head replacement. Only reason for them to do the lifters first, I think, is that they hope you will be out of warranty/cpo by the time you need to have the head replaced.
