Warranty advice, please

[Busterboo]

As I've written about before, I have BMW Insured Warranty on my 35iS, with which I'm very pleased, both warranty and car. This can't be said, however, of my local AD, where the warranty work is done.

So, for example, at the last service, done in January by my local indy, he said, 'The car's fine, apart from the slight leak from the DCT sump plate.' Hearing this, my heart sank, because the AD has replaced the plate & gasket once and the gasket alone twice, the last time in January 2021.

Now, I don't want to get into discussions about how good/bad indies/ADs are, how much better a manual box is than a DCT, how fragile a 35iS is and so on. I have just one question, please ...

Is the AD liable for the upcoming repair under the AD's 2-year warranty on the previous repair or must I claim off the BMW Insured Warranty?

I would think that it should be covered by the 2 year Warranty.
By ad,I take it you mean an Official,BMW dealer?

Depends on the fine print of the AD 2 year warranty on previous repair, I would think. What exactly does it cover?

If it was me I’d be quite insistent that I was making a claim under the 2 yr guarantee from the dealership and not making a warranty claim same way you would if you’d paid for the original repair without warranty company involvement
