Why? becuase you'll pay it.

Id have them fix the free item, GET THE CODES, and see how it runs. Who knows if the glow plug code is present or active...could be an old spurious code.

Then get something to pull your own codes.

I just dont trust BMW dealers with these newer diesels...too much "replace the part based on what the design engineer decided should be done based on a code".

Did they run a testplan to chase down the glowplug code? What precisely was the code and what testplan did they do?

For $1200 you deserve some answers first, cause your not gonna get a reacharound
