My 2007 is in for the same repair right now. They have me in a 08 335xi loaner and I'm on my third week of waiting..... Yeah, I've been enjoying the loaner
but still, love to have mine back.
If they did not have me in a comparable car, I'd be hot but at least your post gives me hope that it will be returned to me good as new.
BTW, Ironically, my 08 loaner with 15k miles is ticking just as bad as mine was at 48k.

Engine purrrrrrrssssss just fine now. No more ticking of the valves noticeable even when the hood is open. Not enough miles yet for a durability/reliability report / gas mileage observation. My SA told me I was his 6th Head replacement, there are about 5 SA at the dealership so they did close to 30 so far. He told me if this was done outside warranty it would probably run between $6,250 - $7,000. Ouch! Glad I got it done although time will tell if messing with the engine and tearing it apart has effect on the reliability. I've got 17 months left on my original 4 year warranty.
