My vehicle is back at the dealership, returning from the body shop, after 9 days of sitting there. I received a text update, only after letting the dealer know that I was aware my vehicle was back at the dealership (via my surveillance using the onboard cameras and vehicle status).

The response from the dealer:
Hi Matt, yes your vehicle is back here. My shop foreman and the tech engineer from BMW returned with your vehicle today. There was a couple spot welds causing the noise that needed to be reworked.

After my hopeful response to them, they reply with another:
We are going to keep it at least another day for a couple test runs before we reassemble the vehicle and deem it completed.

(meanwhile my vehicle is returned with a few hundred extra miles on it. How many test runs...and did they have to test 0-60, lol. I'm trying to be optimistic about this.)
