Thats what I would suggest, go talk to the dealer before any other shop do any work. With this few miles, there is a chance the dealer/BMW might cover some or all of this out of courtsey... it's well worth the shot.
Good Luck!!

Do you trust the shop that did the diagnosis/estimate? Have you taken it to a different shop/dealer?
How certain are you the shop diagnosed it correctly and not just charging you for something that is not actually happening.
Not saying its not actually the case, just a reality check. Blown headgasket/warped head on a BMW inline 6 with only 62K miles without overheating sounds more like a fairy tale than truth.
