e90 328i SULEV Warranty Question

Hi Everyone,

I recently had quite a few parts replaced on my 328i under the SULEV warranty. However, they are saying that the spark plugs are not covered but the ignition coils are. I've seen quite a few threads saying that the spark plugs are covered. Does anyone have any insight on this or some repair receipts they can show me where they were replaced under the SULEV warranty? It would really help my case if I had some sort of proof.

On another note, the 6 plugs cost $540 to change. They charged me two hours labor I believe, and I know I could changed them myself in 1 or less. Just wondering if that was a fair price.

Thank you!

$540 is insane for spark plugs. They are very easy to get to.

Spark plugs are not covered under SULEV, some cases they car be covered as consequential damage depends on case by case. That's way too much for the replacement of the spark plugs if they were already there replacing the coils. Should have only been half hour worth of labor. It's literally an extra 5 minutes since they already have everything out.
