It might be an idea to start a list of these on here and ask the management to pin it under E89 problems. If this is a common fault which starts occurring on many 10 year old plus E89s, I can see BMW not wanting to replace thousands of roof panels and trying to wriggle out of claims, or just doing a quick sand and respray.Gwest44 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 5:55 pmI think they made some reference to it being due to the paint not bonding properly but to be honest I can't recall the detail.
What I do remember is them saying the warranty is not valid if the paintwork fails their original paint test or if the corrosion is found to be due to a stone chip or similar impact.
They also said they love this type of work and welcome any customer who brings in their car for assessment - obviously BMW pay top money to Sytner no questions asked.
If we have a list and possibly get numbers of affected vehicles to date from BMW UK under freedom of information act any claims going forward will have more weight behind them with data from the "owner's club"?
