If it does turn out to be something simple.. what should i do about Brian Jessel BMW taking my $880!?

I feel relly sorry for your experience!Those guys at Jessel BMW not only conned you out of 880 usd but they still coildnt tell you what the problem is!
Where I come from at a reputable Bmw dealer you pay for material + labour and some diagnostic!Its ludicrous that They have charge you 129 usd for materials and 751 usd for diagnostic and labour!
They have to justify the labour charges?To change spark plugs=0.5 hr,to swap over injectors 0.5 hour,DIS diagnostic 0.5 hour.This cant add up to 751 usd!

My advice to you and what I would do.Take copy of your invoice for the 880 usd and write a letter/e-mail to BMW NA with your complaint explaining what you said here and what the guys at Jessel said that it would be better to sell the car or expect to pay 5000 usd.
Get BMW NA to recommend you a local BMW dealer to look at your car and advice you on your problem.

Doesnt make sense them having to swap over injectors when the DIS will be able to read the parameters and tell which are outside the normal readings!
