Tried to get my Vanos solenoids and valve cover replaced on 2007 N51 in Kansas, no dice. Even though the car was purchased in California and the warranty terms say "and/or registered" the service manager flat out refused saying: "The vehicle has to be registered in and originally retailed in a state that follows the California regulations. Kansas does not follow these emissions standards. We have tried to get these covered by BMW in the past and they have been declined by BMW every time."
I talked to BMW corporate and they seemed to agree with me it should be covered but basically said they had no power to force them to do it.
Was worth a shot I guess. Cost aside I'd rather do it myself anyway.
