Yikes...how many miles since you added the heat shield? The reason I ask is that I have a friend who had the heat shield put on and he has done over 30k with no warpage...

Those of you who've gone in for service, are they adding a heat shield as part of the "repair"?
I've been calling different dealerships to find out if they'll add the part, none of them could answer. I also couldn't find any reference to it on realoem, so I'm not sure if I should purchase one from WMW, or hope they include it during service.

Same issue, im still under warranty so they will replace it for now. I am strongly considering purchasing the nm eng titanium heat shield following the new hood scoop install. high heat temps are a b*tch

What's the 'usual' turnaround time for this repair? I presume it's a two trip repair (fault accepted/part ordered/sprayed, then installed on second visit).
I'm stuck in between two dealers (one 50 miles north, the other 60 miles south) so I will be carefully selecting the agony of the trip for my 2009 R55 before the warranty gets much closer to expiration.

I suggest that, at best, your dealer didn't bother to even try submitting it to MINI/BMW; or at worst, they just flat-out lied to you. The heat shield part and its installation were covered under warranty in my case.

That was the case for me; I'd be prepared for a "two-tripper" repair... However, the dealer did offer me a chrome replacement scoop rather than a painted one as a no-cost replacement; but I prefer the monochrome look, so I declined and waited for them to paint one to match. For a chrome scoop, if one is in stock, I think that would be a "one-stop" repair.
