Well - finally got the car back from the dealer. The warranty paid in full! The car has much better acceleration now and I suspect I will see an improvement in fuel economy. $5921 total. My share was $775 for replacement of the vacuum pump an new plugs and wires.

I had a loaded 528i as a loaner for the first week, but that car sold. My replacement was a 2013 E70 X5 3.5. If that had been the first X5 I had seen I would not have bought one. Holy jeez, what a hunk of junk! Uncomfortable seats. Shoddy interior. Questionable suspension. No thanks.

The service guy was very interested in the new tool.
