I noted this to the SM, even read it to him- No service bulletin with that number (I searched it myself with similar result):

BMW TSB - Information About BMW Technical Service Bulletins | AutoMD

We discussed it in some detail, and I'm not exactly sure where I would stand in the realm of BMW with it anyway- However if it did/does exist and Maranello BMW did not cover this item then……

I've had a somewhat similar incident with MB Canada over my parents 2007 S550 (for background on this, while we did not buy the car (used, MB PPI in Toronto) from the dealer in Kingston (Van Herpt MB) we had been a client for 25+ years with all the MB's being serviced there) where a check engine light resulted in a timing chain sprocket failure which required the engine to be removed from the car (remarkably the dealer already had a 'kit' available from MB Canada for the repair)- anyway, long story short, almost 6K later the dealer came to the party on 2( yes, two) hours of the 31 hours of labor, and MB provided the 'kit' free of charge. I relate this incident because I don't really expect anything from the dealer, and in the end I need to get the X fixed.
