During the initial inspection, they found the power steering was leaking (I' never noticed or would have suspected) and are replacing the power steering hose.

You are lucky they noticed this on your car. I thought my dealer was pretty good but they really let me down here. My warranty ran out in January, two months after I got my Inspection I. Three weeks ago, I pro-actively replaced the engine mount bolts and while I was down there, I noticed that my PS hose had quite a bit of fluid on it and you could see that it had dripped on the panel below. The next time I was at the dealer I asked my SA why they didn't check and/or replace the PS hose while the car was in for the Inspection 1. He first looked very puzzled and when I told him how I found the leaky hose his comment was "I didn't know the M cars had hydraulic PS". Makes me wonder if the tech that did the Inspection I ever removed the panel to check. The PS resevoir sits down so low, if you aren't looking for it you probably won't find it. Oh well, what can I do now?
