And yes I know that the problem with the serpentine belt is attributed to the engine mounts. We're all making hypotheses based on limited information. The final diagnosis will be made at a later date. That is the day when you might be able to shout "I told you". if it matters that much to you. Lol |

Why in the hell would BMW throw him a bone and repair it on their dime regardless of the milage ? He was informed about the valve cover gasket leak and didn't have it repaired. But the #1 issue is he is way out of warranty, his car is an 07. They are NOT REQUIRED TO PAY FOR SHIT.

I don't recommend it. I think your better recourse would be to sue the dealer for giving you bad technical advise with this being the foreseeable harm. |

When turbos were failing out of warranty BMW sometimes would cover labor or parts or sometimes even both. We don't know what was said between the sa and the op so it's possible the sa said he could wait, which appears to be against the tech recommendation. If in the op shoes I would reach out to BMW na. |

Car in service date is 10/2008, I always forget this, it's 5 or 4 years warranty? If its 4 years his warranty just ran out but it looks like he was charged for oil change etc which leads me to believe the car was a salvage.

I was doing oil changes at a car x almost every other month because I had the oil leak it turns out. The last one as the paper shows I went to the dealer to do the oil change and get a diagnosis and they noted the oil leak.

Just let me know where I can get a used engine for a reasonable price guys. I'm over it. Please don't come on here judging me. You can contemplate a lot of things when you are filled with rage.

Sir you need to look at your service record your in service date was 10/2008 that means your car fell under the 4 year 50k full factory warranty which includes free maintenance.
Looks like you bought the car used, 3/2011. Were you aware of the in service date? Your dealership took you for a ride. Just because a car is an 07 if it is sold in 08 the warranty starts in 08 when it first hits the road with its first owner. |

Check local junk yards but IMO you should reach out to BMW NA at the same times. |

Look at your "in service date" that is the date the car was first put on the road with its first owner.... See it says 2008 that means on 10/14/2012 your warranty was suppose to end. When did you purchase the car. |

Is the car a salvage title?
If not that dealership defrauded you by not honoring warranty work based on the in service date. The dealership seems shady go to another dealership. And I would ask for my money back on the warranty work for the oil change and diagnostic you also have a case for BMW na because you can argue that the service advisor never referenced the fact that you still had warranty on the car and that repairs should have been preformed at no cost to you and also you can argue the fact that the car failed 2 weeks after warranty expired CALL BMW NA |
