Well, no doubt they feel guilty - gave me a 2011 328 as a loaner, and picked up the tab for the towing. Showed me where a pulley "fell off" causing the belt to fail, supposed to be done tomorrow for only a few hundred... keeping my fingers crossed just in case, got the name and number or the perfect attorney to handle the job what a PITA
You'll be fine. Keep an eye out for oil leaks, overheats, and crappy performance issues.
Overheating a motor till it won't run DOES do internal damage. They're only fixing the external stuff that they can see. Make sure that it's written on the work order that it was due to a shop error when the car was serviced, otherwise you'll be on the hook for any of that internal damage should something happen down the road. MAKE SURE THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
