2013 N63 like new after valve stem seal repair

After 3 weeks, now I got my car back..
Initially went in for door lock repair and dealer fixed the following
Front pass/driver door actuators
Valve guide seal
Oil separator
Oil return cover
Plus associated nuts, hoses, gaskets, and clamps. Too many to list.
Coolant and antifreeze
Also, bank 2 Oxygen sensor
Alignment

The engine was dropped to perform the valve job

It's too early to tell if the oil consumption has improved but since there are 2 years warranty so I am not worried
Car has 60k so I expect it should be good for another 60k
I have extended warranty for the actuators and oxygen sensor so I paid $250 (actual cost was $2800)
As for the valve seal job, per the settlement, estimated$7k to $9k, that's what I was told.
I didn't have the engine replacement due to the oil consumption rate is not severe, 3 liters in 4k miles, also due to the lower mileage on the meter.
I didn't have the oil test done, the dealer just let the car idled for couple minutes and observed the smoke and sent to BMW for approval.
I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had their valve job done, any update on the oil consumption after would be appreciated.
