If the original part on the car is measured and deemed not bent, then the problem lies with BMW and their quality control, since a replacement part of a different dimension might bring the car in spec, thus the alignment fix should be covered under warranty.
Put another way, you should have the dealership measure the part coming off of your car, and compare it to a BRAND NEW part with the same part number. If the old part measures perfectly, then the pulling issue is not due to a faulty part, but rather, incorrect tolerances from the manufacturing of the car. This, in turn, is a manufacturing defect that should be covered under warranty.

Where can I find out what the length should be of that part?
My dealer told me that if they order the part and I choose not to put it on the car, I will be charged a restocking fee.
Its what you get when you are the only BMW dealer in town I guess hu..
