I'm not sure I go along with the reasoning surrounding the piston issue.

Late last week my SA informed me BMW made the decision to send only the block and new piston heads vice sending complete short or long blocks. I haven't gotten a progress update so far this week, but the predicted completion date for repairs was sometime next week.

Before the howling masses launch into opinionated diatribes about "I would've made them send me a new engine..", or "I woulda told those assholes...blah, blah, blah..." I (and for the most part, the dealership) have no real ability to influence how BMW chooses to resolve the issue via warranty. The dealership can give their opinion, but ultimately, it's up to the discretion of BMW. I would have preferred a complete long block engine replacement, but unfortunately, that's not the route BMW chose to take.

Time will tell whether the repairs are successful or not...
