I feel your pain. I just went through this process at a bmw dealer near Pittsburgh. My 328i sulev had misfires and bad idle sluggish acceleration/ bad burning oil smell etc. They said I needed a new valve cover and an eccentric shaft sensor my car ran the following codes
002a31
002a47
002a32
002de
0029cf
They said the repairs weren't covered under sulev warranty because the parts recommended for replacement weren't on the list. I got my car back and ordered parts to replace all the seals/ gaskets, the sensor and plugs/coils. Did all that took about 5 hours. Vcg was definitely bad and leaking oil. 3 and 4 spark plug wells had oil puddles. And the eccentric shaft sensor was definitely bad. Car had 80k on it. All the codes cleared and my car drives like a brand new 328 now. Wasn't that bad of a job. But this should have been covered under the warranty. I will definitely just buy a new valve cover next time I need to do this job probably.
