He said I should do the timing chain tensioner just incase as it s only a £35 part

Did he mention the labour charge.

That's the branch rubbing it's warranty hands together. Big bucks in these claims.

erchie84 · 04-11-2015, 09:24 AM

Exactly what i thought they've had it since thursday reckon it will be ready monday but they phoned and told me it needs the full works ..wouldn't like to pick up that tab

In all honestly, this is completely legitimate and something that BMW, as a massive producer of 'ultimate driving machines' should fix at their expense. It's really a drop in the ocean to a company with assets of 80 billion Euros

Chrisy32 · 04-12-2015, 05:43 PM

Is all the cost covered by BMW ? cause i dont wanna book in then at the end be handed a bill for some "other stuff" that needed doing.

I'm sure that if the dealership found something else not related to the actual work involved they would advise you accordingly.
Everything they do to the car to carry out the 'enhancement' will be under the manufacturers warranty claim process with the dealership. You would not incur charges.

Hopefuly they want mine for a week im bored of it now

erchie84 · 04-13-2015, 08:28 AM

Pacman83 · 04-13-2015, 09:25 AM

Hope they keep mine in for a week or so and give me a nice 4 series M Sport courtesy car

My 2010 LCI is on 80k but I didn't buy it from a BMW dealer; can I still get this covered by BMW?

Pretty certain you car is too new for this current recall

Chrisy32 · 04-13-2015, 10:19 AM

Went to BMW cooper Teesside today, and no recalls came up for my engine. Even though mine is correct engine number. Bit strange, anyway else I could check it ??
