Just some food for thought to make you give copying one of the disks some serious thought before you try it.

The law is on the consumer's side in the US. MFG's can't just void waranties b/c they don't like what you've done to your car. *IF* a problem did occur with your iDrive system, the dealer would have to prove that it was the fault of the copied DVD software.
About removing a disc if it gets stuck, yeah you'd probably have to pay them for that (if you can't figure it out yourself) and the worst that could happen is they give you a frowny face sticker on your report card for the semester.
