Well...I'll tell you. :

Funny enough, I was just driving out of the dealer, and fortunately this happened only a few hundred feet away. Back in my loaner and awaiting word. To my best guess, somebody effered up when changing out the oil gasket.

Bad luck... Least the loaner was still there and not taken out by someone else

Yes. They are ace though and have taken extremely good care of me.

I was revving my Dinan free flow in the service center. Maybe someone remotely triggered it for making too much noise

[BruceJ]

LOL, so are you trying to say you are grateful for the warrantee so you are covered when the dealer eff's up your car, or frustrated you have to have warrantee work performed by imbeciles? Sorry for your pain but LOL, ROTFL, LOL
I have felt both in the past dealing with the stealer. Is this all just an intelligence test? Did we pass? LOL!

Good Luck
Bruce

Thanks Cousin Brucie!

No matter what, I'm covered, that's all I'm saying.

So let's hope it wasn't incompetence, but you know what they say- guilty until proven innocent!

Holy shit - parallel lives. The whole engine bay was covered in oil.

We'll see how this plays out.

that sucks, guess what... my local dealership lost my splash shield when they did my NY inspection and now won't own up to it. Live and learn... don't bring it to the stealership at all costs unless you are forced to for warranty work.

Guess which dealership isn't going to work on my airbag recall. Also guess which dealership i won't be purchasing any vehicles from

[Nitrousbird]

DIY FTW. I'm glad I don't have a warranty.

Your pic reminded how much I don't miss the ugly stock cluster. M3 swap is the only way to go.

[SMH]

That sucks, hope everything gets straightened out.

Your still in a 30 day window for the extended warranty to get you 100% money back... don't let them use the ext warranty to claim this repair (make sure its under the factory warranty).

have you considered going to a M2 coupe instead of this convertible?

I hear you Faz, at this point my life I'm just not up for getting into another car and strapping in for more payments. I'm sure there will be a need down the road for warranty work at some point.

[Dark_Knight_335]

At this point I am merely speculating at what this vague engine icon really means, and being only a few hundred feet from the dealer didn't give me much time to pull any codes- so let's just say they're innocent until proven guilty

Those who have met me during my various sales of car items and know me in real life know that I'm a pretty nice guy, and I'll do anything I can to help someone. Faz is also one of those exceptional human beings.

Don't get me wrong, I've done small things like changing my intake and my cabin filter, along with various lights around the vehicle.

I am an IT guy by trade, and I fix problems for people on a daily basis.

Hell, I have even branched out and fixed two toilets in my own house. Perhaps one day when I have more time to spare and actually have room to work on a vehicle, maybe I will learn more

If you buy a service, and a particular product, you should expect some level of quality with that product.

Over the years of owning BMWs, I am certainly not foolish enough to believe this so much anymore. In fact, this very well might be my last BMW.

Sorry for the rant, but it's barely 6:30 in the morning and I guess I've just had a long week and way too many beers last night.

Have a rockin weekend everyone

for real, what did they give as a loaner if you don't mind me asking?

528 sedan...moonstone-ish color.

[John 070]

I got that too and it was VANOS....cheaper to pay out of pocket or DIY, that was the only thing my car did under the 7/100...it's weird because I'm in the same mentality with my wife's car, got an extended warranty for 3/54 beyond factory, and we're only 5 mos. into it.

I feel anything can happen and we are good (ac issues on this vehicle are 3k). But the mfg wouldn't sell the extended warranty to lose, they sell to make money.

I lost on the BMW extended warranty, wonder if the same will happen on my wife's....

For those of us that aren't wrench turners, and just want to drive the vehicle and have the extra capital to spare, I would just rather go the warranty route John.

My father used to have an old saying- "it is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

True very true, I turn my own wrenches when it comes to maintenance (oil changes, brake fluid changes, etc) but the warranty is def a added on bonus for those diy's that hit you hard in the pocket or your time
