Ok thanks to all. Just to clarify, I’m in a suburb of Tampa, so while the rip-off side is probably not any better because it’s still Florida, there aren't any independent shops close enough that would be convenient for my wife while wrangling a very active 3-yr old. That’s the draw with the dealership, which is close and provides a loaner. But I think I’ll have to try a non-BMW service shop that’s close. If they can’t do it, maybe they can refer me to someone who can.

The paperwork does indicate that they did a smoke test and found the intake and crankcase vent hoses leaking. I can’t imagine they are all bad at the same time, and I suspect either they loosened them at some point or didn’t reattach them properly. On prior service visits, they told us twice that the engine might need replacement. It never did, but they did replace the solenoid valve and oil pan gasket when it was still under warranty, which required removing a lot and putting back together. If they cant even put the engine cover on right, I doubt they could reattach everything else. As I say, this one has been extremely problematic.
