Wow that is ridiculous… you point out that they did it. That’s their fault. I’d take that further over $5k. New owner and haven’t had this issue but a non BMW technician reviewed all technicical service bulletins for this car for me and this issue came up except slightly different: he said it means you need to change oil pan bolt each oil change. That’s all I got.
