Expansion valve failure, 2nd time

Engine light is on in my 50e. Took it to the dealer and was informed it was the expansion valve and it would take 2 days to get the part in. Unfortunately, this is the 2nd failure of the same part 3 months apart.

Service was very apologetic and got me a loaner. Really hope it is addressed.

Any thoughts?

So I am ignorant on this one...is this a case of bad luck, poor part quality, or just the way it is, sorry...just curious.

BMW wishes they knew the answer to that.

I'm guessing the repair wasn't done properly the first time around. Hopefully they will get a more experienced tech to do the repair this time around.
