Dealer wanted $7-8000. I found a BMW tech that works evenings at his home shop. Quoted me $3000. "While we are in there" add ons (alternator bracket and Valvetronic unit) $1500.
The perk is that now I have gobs of power I hadn't even been missing. The smoke is gone. So for $4500 I have my car back.
Thanks for all of your responses
