Warranty. I rarely see the price on any of the jobs I do. I know an X6 M, needed a long blck and was 34k for the motor.
This head bare was 2k at our cost
The car is back together running and out the shop but mentally and physically killed me that week

Indeed. BMW has an automatic tool shipment for any special tools needed. So since we are a dealer for the all electric 1 series it was a requirement to own that table for repairs.

But to check everything, including leak down and compression is probably another 8 hrs

Maybe. It's usually parked behind the building but possibly.
They wouldn't do a long block for just a head

Looks like fun. I just did head gaskets on a northstar. Looks similar to what you just did, I think we charged him ~20 hours total. I have an engine to replace next week on an 04 SRX, book time for a long block is 27 hours. It's surprising how much money people dump into cars that aren't even worth half of the repair (both my jobs are cash. Not warranty)
Did you have to go to a specialty BMW school before getting into a dealership? I had a friend from highschool that works for BMW. He went through some factory program then got a job in Texas.
Your 6th picture makes your bay look like a professional office. Our shop is straight from the 70's, we still have the old Visualine alignment rack from the 1950's.

Yeah I went to BMW step (BMWS training program at the north American hq) after wyotech. Didn't have to go but I was accepted and I knew a dealer tech would be a stable job so I went for it.
Yeah that bay and the one next to it where I have the motor under the car are my bays. Every tech has the same set up too with a work bench, box, cabinets and computer. For every two techs we have our diagnostic computer as well. Pretty modern and high class.
Most everything I do is warranty. If this was customer pay it would have easily been 40 hrs. So 6k in labor
