99.9999% certain the answer is NO. (Unless the work instruction mandates it... probably change parts, bleed, top off fluid)

Took mine in yesterday morning for it. I got the dreaded call in the afternoon about the nationwide backorder on the part--he said the earliest they would get the part would be Thursday. And he said it takes about 3 days for it be completed (apparently, they have to lift the engine out to do it). So, I'm guessing it won't be ready until next week sometime. My loaner is an '13 328--though they said I can check back at end of each day to swap out for something bigger like a 5, X5, etc (or maybe a 7 Series--I got one of those for like 2 weeks as they didn't have anything else--had it for like a week).

To me, worse than being lied to...is when an SA thinks I am stupid enough that he can lie to me. THAT'S the most annoying part.
