Of course my car is a couple of months beyond Certified warranty and at 50,000 miles

My question is are the replacement levers being sold now redesigned or manufactured to better quality control than those originally equipped?

In other words, can I expect the replacement levers to fail in another 50K miles?

thanks,

the first time you replace them on a 2004 MY, the car may be fine for 1 year, the next year, they will act up again and BMW will parts warranty them, then the next year, they will replace both cylinder heads. several 2004 engines have recieved cylinder heads after multiple intermediate lever replacements.
