Do you know if they completely lowered the headliner?

I don't know, but they managed to do it without interfering with my rear dashcam, which is tucked up right in that area.
My guess is they just pulled the rear of the headliner back enough to get in to the brake light. |

Update: Dealer has declined to refund me the cost of the light because I bought the replacement on the 24th of February. I called BMWUSA and they said I need to take ti up with the dealer, that I should request an exception. I placed a call and sent some emails to show the timeline on when I found out about the recall.

Every time I go to the dealer I end up with some sort of new wonderful flaw that was not part of the deal...Thinking about skipping out on this one and leaving it for the next owner to do or not to do.

I know the feeling, but I wouldn’t skip this one. If that thing flies out on the freeway (as happened to TinCanSailor) and hits something or someone then you wouldn’t want to be on the hook for it after BMW has informed you that there is a recall.

Couldn't agree more, get it done. Add to that you have it fly off and hit someone or someones car and end up in a liability law suit.

A buddy of mine is a BMW mechanic and this is a standard thing that dealerships do (not just BMW). Every time anyone comes in for anything they come up with a whole host of things that are "wrong" with the car. When I went in for the recall they said that I need an alignment and rear brakes which I'll have my friend verify, but in the past it's been "maybe eventually, but not right now."

Damn that sucks. The dealership I ended up with passed my obsessed owner tests when they didn't wash it at my request, and also took an oil sample for me (for Blackstone) without issue.

got my letter last friday, called right away, took it in monday... got it back today. just happens that they notice my prepaid service expired back in march. I'm not due for another 2000 miles. but he went to talk to the service manager and got approved to do it anyways for free. he said he told them "due to covid-19 lock down".

Sorry if I was being confusing. They're 2 different things. Recall of course no cost. I meant while I was there for the recall, I mentioned I'm about 2000 miles from my next maintenance service. They check on the system and found it expired back in March. The serviceman spoke with the manager and told me they are extending my expiration date to have my service done at that the same time at no charge. It was also one that includes new spark plugs and all the filters. And they were able to replicate a rattle noise in my steering wheel, which they also fixed.

Just based off the bullet point 4 I should be reimbursed. I bought the replacement light on the 24th of February. Now I question whether the stealership even made an attempt to consider or process my claim.

Check this out! There have been times where I have waited days and weeks for my SA to respond to things. The dealership is closed at this hour and I had no expectation of a response until Monday afternoon as they are closed over the weekend now due to covid-19.
This is much needed money, approximately 600 USD's, as my motor seized up two weeks after I had to deal with this out of pocket expense. This 600 dollars will make a small but much needed dent in the approximate $13k motor swap. Thank you so much.
