Warranty Question

[Meady]

Seems i caused quite a conversation, If anyone was wondering the car has been totally perfect and not made any weird noises from cold start or anything, so as it only did it twice i imagine i was a bit of my imagination/ especially cold day?!

Car seems fine

My baby goes in tomorrow for investigations under extended warranty, fingers crossed on a positive outcome

Good news! Warranty has paid out on nearly £7K worth of work and all for £100 excess, could not be happier!

It begs the question, what have they done for £7k ?

An awful lot more than for £100 :wink:

Good question. Ok so issues under investigation were:

Tappety noise from engine on start up/when cold
Paddle shifts on steering wheel column not working
Whine from rear of car on deceleration, suspected differential failure
Roof not working, could not lower roof

Results:

software update and re-adaption for oil pressure system - no more tappety noise on start up - £203.00
gear paddle selector replaced - now working - £262.00 plus szl required for gearbox - £466.00
rear differential replaced - no more whine - £2500.00
roof hydraulic pump replaced - roof works - £1,761.00
16 hours labour charge @ £166.00 per hour = £2,656.00

Total = £7,848.00

Naturally I will be hanging onto my BMW warranty and a big thank you to Stephen James Ruxley for a smooth and hassle free claim and work carried out. Faultless Dealership.
