He also stated they inspect first as not every car identified by BMW will need to be fixed.
The tech will be a BMW M certified master tech (whatever that means I know it shouldn't mean a low level tech).
He also said he expects me to have my car back within a week.
My car is set to go in for surgery on 12/27/21. I'll keep everyone posted.

Im not sure how theyre going to change the Thrust bearing without removing at least the crank shaft. I guess they could remove the pan, and pull the crank down to remove and replace the thrust bearing. Unless they have some special process, the bearings are locked into the block, to keep them from spinning. So, you cant just hammer them out.
