Nope, It's not my car. It is a customers. I agree, the BMW mechanic at the dealer is trying to make his hours. I still have some friends that work for the dealer. That's how I can say that you'd be lucky to even get a new valve cover gasket. I hear it straight from the horses mouth so to speak.

Every car I work on gets this kind of treatment. I honestly wouldn't sleep well at night if I didn't do what was right.
