Just received confirmation from Sytner that the car is covered under the 12 year Anti Corrosion warranty - it goes in on Thursday for a new roof panel. :thumbsup:

That is great news OP - it's good to see BMW accepting what won't be a cheap job. :thumbsup:

Just in time too on a 2010 car!
 
So yours was the black one that Sytners had looked at before mine on 3rd March?
Time for me to get on blower see if mines been approved. Small bubble area on both my panels Dec 2009 production and registered in Dec 2009
Thanks for posting

Be sure to chase them up - I did and asked to speak to the body shop. Once I got through they said they had received the authorisation and just needed to book it in :thumbsup:

Took mine in on the 5th of March to be assessed and had to call them to confirm the claim had been approved and get it booked in - they could only offer me an automatic Mini as a courtesy car this week but I wasn't about to let that delay me getting it booked in :rofl:
 
Oops got date wrong it was 5th March. Rang last week and said to ring back this week so hope mine will get the approval. Is the mini a convertible?
Preference would be a newer E89 Z4 with the 4 pot turbo and 8 speed auto just to see what they drive like(mine 35i DCT with adaptive suspension) but will be to old for a courtesy car could see if anything on used approved and get an extended test drive if that's on the cards in covid times. Is yours just one roof panel or both?

I spoke to a dealership last week about an extended test drive and they said max 2/3 hrs and definitely no overnights citing Covid as the reason but always worth a try and see what they say

Have you got any pictures of the corrosion? Or are posted elsewhere?

I 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.

Difficult to capture but done my best in the attached photos - if was in both corners of the top panel on the passenger side.
I nearly didn't bother taking it in for an assessment but glad I did - Sytner couldn't have been more accomodating.

Use to have the same blisters on my Jaguar XJ :evil: seen a couple of E89s with this, but funnily enough the wings and bonnet seem to escape from it and they are aluminium also
