  • No unfortunately only  had the car a year and took it to another dealership to service
    Was it another main BMW dealer though? (i.e. is the service history complete per schedule and done via franchised BMW dealerships?)

    Have you paid for main dealer servicing? If you have goodwill will pay for everything.
    I used to work as a service advisor. If the customer was known to us and always used us for servicing we would have contributed in part. Absolutely no way would we have paid for all of it 
    You are missing Fred's sarcastic trolling.  He constantly says that everyone should do their own servicing regardless off the effect that has on warranty claims.  He has been told that keeping servicing within the manufacturer's franchise network MAY lead to goodwill contributions.  I don't remember anyone telling him that they would pay the whole off the bill.  
  • Hi All,

    This has just happened to my 2017 BMW 3220D! Car just cut out while I was driving! BMW have diagnosed a requirement of 4 new fuel injectors, but they are now checking the fuel rank for Swarf.

    @duckychick- did you get a resolution?
