when I talked with bmw na they were really helpful but when I complained to the manager of my dealership he was willing to work with me. the only issue I had was I have 85k so it's way outside the 50k warranty so he couldn't budge. I told him"so does bmw just wait until they break off and then fix them?" and he replied,"no but this SIB is a recommended way of fixing it, not saying it needs to be fixed." so I said,"this should of been addressed when I was within the warranty." manager replied,"well it's not a thing we can see without taking apart then engine."
from my experience I would take your car in with the SIB, it's a big deal that they should fix it and complain to them and how they operate. I payed $3700 two days ago for this crap, so frustrated but now it runs really well and smooth!
I also learned that a downpipe with the n55 creates idle issues.
