BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - Fuel Leak when filling full tank

Hi - just discovered this issue on my '55 330i SE Touring. BMW dealer quoted £800 to replace (having charged £135 to 'diagnose'). Obviously highly reluctant to pay this, though with my little boy usually sat just above the leak I feel I shoul get it sorted, slim though the risk should be (if I don't max the tank at least).

Anyway, called BMW UK Customer Services and they said it was up to the dealer to propose a good will gesture, which as I didn't buy the car from them and in fact this is the 1st time I have used them for anything I find it highly unlikely they will do. The dealer themselves said good will was highly unlikely as the car was too old (6 years now).

So, I could take it to an indy for a quote and maybe 'only' spend £400 to fix.

Or I pursue it further with BMW UK - does anyone have any suggestions on who to call / email / write to for this as I don't think I'll get any success with their regular call line?

Thanks for any help, would be nice to get it sorted.
