Not sure how they can say what they drained did not get contaminated. They said this is how BMW says to do it.


So it has been almost a year and I have no issues. I had 42k on the car when my leaked.
I had taken mine into the dealer (approx 160 mile round trip) for a rear window issue. They had to order the rear window which took a week to come in. My car sat for a week in my garage without being driven. Backed out of the garage for the return trip to the dealer to have the rear window replaced and found a puddle of oil on the floor. No indications or drops of oil prior.

I always try to ask the dealer prior to them starting any work to explain in detail to what they are performing.That way if I disagree or feel that they should repair in a way that satisfies me.
I will offer to pay for the extras, such as all new fluid in this case, to satisfy my mind that the repair was done to my expectations.
