Any way I need to replace the intake manifold, glow plug on cylinder 6 and fuel injection pressure sensor. Need help with it can anyone on the forum please guide me o the links that show the items I need to repair/replace.

Powertrain warranty is VERY limited. There is a reason this is the only policy they sell for cars out of the factory warranty....im sure you thought 'well, it might not cover everything, but hopefully I'll get lucky'. You didn't.
You need to replace the glow plug controller as well (when one GP goes it usually takes out the controller. Search, this is covered here or on Bimmerfest)..I see Funf has given you a good start.
How confident are you with the dealer diagnosis? Was this a full-blown, run all the diagnostics and test plans work up?? Or a 'read two codes and throw a $$ estimate and see if he bites' quickie?
