I'm considering going the specialist route now i know mondial bmw warranties don't stipulate i use dealer networking servicing.

However, anyone have an idea if this makes it more difficult during a warranty claim?

I had multiple bits replaced last year, some quite hard for them to agree to, but they eventually did. I suspect that if i hadn't serviced my car with them, the result may not have gone in my favour. I at least used it as a bargaining tool.

It's about £100 more with BMW for my oil change, air/fuel and brake fluid. But i also want both my stats changing and possibly my crankcase breather (at least inspected).

Anyone have experience or any views on BMW not wanting to help if you've had it serviced with a 3rd party.
