If it turns out it was a faulty install then talk to your bmw dealer to have them reimburse you since they f'ed up and couldn't find it.

I'll check with the dealership and see if they will look at the thrust bearing. Your right about the dealer not wanting to pull it apart again. It's easier for them to just blame the springs as a faulty product since it's not OEM!
Does anybody have a diagram that shows the proper installation of the bearings and washer?
