last week, they:
1. put the engine back together. wouldn't start.
2. took it apart again, found that the valves were bent.
3. Now they are putting in the valves and going to see if the engine will start.
4. If that doesn't work, they'll take it apart again and check the pistons...
and if that doesn't work, they'll order a new engine.

I asked the tech rep, why don't they just check the pistons... he said that BMW warranty, "that's how they do it... " they check one by one and then... blah blah....

I'm not a mechanic, but I'd probably take it apart to check the pistons all at once... but that's just me....

He said it's because the car's under warranty, that's why they do that... whatever...
