BRAND NEW M6 needing belt tensioner?

Hey Guys, had my M6 for about 2 and a half weeks now, and it has been in service for quite a few things already. Most recently for a high pitched squeaking noise. First they thought it was a loose bracket, that they tightened, but the noise was still there. Now they are saying it is a belt tensioner. Has anyone heard of a 1600 mile car needing a belt tensioner? Is it me or is this a bit ridiculous?

So far the car has been in service for:
-Vibration in the steering wheel (x2)
-4 New tires (Flat spots from sitting on lot for 408 days)
-Re programming (Launch Control would not work after 1200 mile service)
-1200 Mile Service
-Re Programming again to memorize Auto Start/Stop preference
-Passenger Rear Seat Belt twisted
-Rattle from Brakes


The dealer said this regarding the steering wheel vibration:
"Issue is normal. Vehicle has road feel on steering wheel, normal for M6 cars."

Does everyone has a slight vibration in their steering wheel from 80-100mph? My DD, a 13 328i on RUNFLATS! has less vibration than the M6.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
