Skimming? I wouldn't have thought BMW would skim a head. As said above, if done under warranty, why not a new head?

Fingers crossed it's something else on top of the head and you get a new engine!

It's a black one after all - it'll probably need a new engine as that's normally the way with the 'dark side'
Policy with any main M type engine component is to fit new parts , so skimming sounds a bit "unusual" to me. If swarf is found in ANY part of the engine, its an automatic new engine ... I know someone who had this done recently !!
