I think the dealers actually get paid by bmw when they do warranty work. If so, they should be incentivized to find and fix problems as well.

+1. Dealer gets paid wholesale rates for parts, and probably a super low flat rate on service. Not the 150/hr that they charge clients - more like 50/hour.

thanx guys for the advice im at 49,880mi went to an indy for an inspection and discovered a leaking power steering pump!
and this is after the dealer told me "everything look good and dry" on my last visit less than a month ago
so I went to the dealer today with pics and a report from the indy
and they ordered a new p.s pump...my visit to the indy saved me $1100.00 plus laborcharges
