Was quoted $825+ for repair. I let the SA know this issue was subject of a recall and that for a "replacement" bolt to break in 3 years was a major point of concern. They are submitting paperwork to BMW NA. In my instance, the dealer could not extract the remain portion of the bolt and broke their extractor. Today a welder is bringing brought in to attach an extension to the bolt so it can be removed. Fingers crossed nothing is damaged and I get my car back later today.

Anyone else have this recall repair fail on them?
