Hope they fix it, sounds like a pain to track down.
When my fuel tank sensor was replaced, the dealer had to empty the cooling system and had trouble getting it to run without overheating. I think the final conclusion was an air pocket somewhere in the system. BMW were involved no doubt (as they usually are with iProblems)
I suspect your dealer had to empty the coolant before replacing the pipe, maybe had problems filling it back up? The system is different to other BMWs as the radiators are at the front and engine in the back so may need special techniques!
Might be worth mentioning that Stratstone's BMW, Leeds, UK have seen and fixed a problem that sounds similar.
