Car is still in the shop. They actually delivered it back to my house Friday morning, but as they were pulling it off the shop foreman called the driver to tell him to return it. Turns out, despite me alerting them to the need to address the camshaft that they didn't do so and had just gotten word from BMWNA that it needed to be done. They took the car back, but can't find the part in the states. I have asked them to ask BMWNA for buyback approval if they cannot fix expediently. Because of the holiday weekend, they don't expect an answer on either fix or buyback until Weds.

Mine is a 328i, non-xi. It is from Munich and February though.
