They have a thing called a warranty where they do the work. Ya can even spend more money for an “extended” time warranty 
Why even mess with an European car outside warranty |

Guys, this isn’t my first BMW rodeo, I have had 7 total - all new. Once off warranty, they’re replaced. Since my 2 vettes are older and what I tinker with, I need at least 1 car that needs nothing but gas and tires. German engineering is quirky as you know and therefore can be expensive to repair, but I have had very few issues, and any minor ones have been dealt with under warranty.
Will post pics when I receive it - and, it’s right on schedule.
