I don't know if taking it to BMW of Seattle will help at all, but it might be worth a try. You're kinda stuck w/ the stealership till the warranty expires, and even then I can't recommend any shops in the area. I've had TERRIBLE luck w/ both the indy kitty corner from BMW of Bellevue and the other place in Issaquah, both of which i'm forgetting their names right now. I've made some friends in the Seattle 5's and 7's community when I lived in Kirkland to the point where I was able to fly into town this spring and borrow enough tools to do my mother's clutch in her 328ci. If you ever need any help, maybe I can arrange coming to Seattle to visit friends and/or work (I visit every couple of months for a week or so), then we can tackle the problem together.
