End of warranty check

[Nanu]

Just had my end of warranty check and you can take the car with the letter to any BMW dealership and get it done for free. Had mine done a week before the MOT was due and after the check and an interior valet (Won't let them touch the outside) they offered to give the old girl an MOT for £25. Took it in a few days later passed without incident as expected and got them to give the wheels a good clean for free. Whats not to like?

I would seriously recommend having it checked, however, I am not sure if you need to take it to the garage you purchased it from.

I did not take mine to this check and encountered an issue - However, I had the foresight of taking out the warranty out. Plus there was an software update completed as well.

I now have a new gearbox

Did you re-install the JB4 after the gearbox was replaced? Those piggyback units eat gearboxes!

No JB4 installed as of yet, and I have a manual gearbox

As its getting close to fitting winter tyres - so little benefit with skinnies on

Are you talking about your 28i? I thought you had the flappy paddle auto box?

Personally, I'd take it in - They will be looking for work that they can make a warranty claim for, what do you have to lose?

I'm always worried when a dealer gets their hands on it something will get damaged or marked, I think I'm an eternal pessimist, and they certainly won't be cleaning it inside or outside !
