You're spot on Matt, I did get a full refund thanks to Roland and the main guy driving the M6 at the M Driving experience day in Munich.

Thanks for thinking of us though ChrisB, we'll get that Christmas beer yet.

+1. I have 3 BMW dealerships within a 5 mile radius and I do the 1hr trip to Gareth every time. I am only new to warranty but so far have found a very common sense aproach by them...something that is getting harder and harder to find.

It's a bit shit that they bent you over. Everyone knows the alternator is a weak point of the CSL (perhaps the E46 m3 in general i'm not sure).

I have had two under warranty. Each one was remanufactured (seems that is how it is sold from BMW), and cost around £385 after an £85 deduction for returning the old one. Total cost was around £520 incl labour.
