2-The tech is suffering from Parkinson's disease so the reconnection of IBS to battery is chattering before a solid connection is made.
In any case I could care less how they are dropping the ball. Let me be clear that my car is serviced like a proper OCD would so this and my 3 friend failures are not just coincidences. Also another bizarre fact is that the power cable is not being done the same way across vehicles after the work was inspected on my car and the other 3. My vehicle has no splice but whole new positive cable. The point of splice on my friends cars are done at different points. All of this makes me feel like you will be hearing more of these posts as more people have work done. Anyone wanna bet $20?

Suffering from the same symptoms - already ordered alternator via ECS.
Is there a way to escalate this to BMW NA? It's ridiculous; all of the symptoms the recall notice stated, I only started getting after this recall.
Took it back to dealer and I'm getting a proper yank on this - luckily no additional charge to diagnose but man they ripped my kick panel and replaced with screws - it's absurd.
The other night I'm on the highway cruising only to be blinded by a Charger scat-pack. Quickly downshifted (because racecar) and Christmas lights in my dash, headlights cut in and out, and I may or may not have leaked a little.
Got home fine but alternator should be here Monday.
