JackE46 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 picked up my car a couple of weeks ago knowing it had a small rust bubble on the rear quarter panel on one side and a few bubbles hiding on the inner side on the other, I had read online about a 12 year corrosion warranty and want to know a bit of information on this, in 6 months time my car will no longer be covered under this so want to try get it in before it runs out just need to know how to go about it, thanks.

calw123 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 Ring your local bmw make an appointment they'll inspect it photograph it and send it to hq, then get in touch with you as to wether or not they do it under warranty. Fingers crossed for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calw123 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 I think they'll only honour it if has rusted from underneath the paint though so if its a scuff etc thats gone rusty you wont have a chance mate, read up on it before you go mate so your fully armed and they dont fob you off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calw123 Report post Posted January 16, 2016 I've taken mine to stratstone bmw chesterfield today for a rear subframe inspection and ian burgees bodyshop manager noticed a small rust bubble on the arch he was mega helpful he's submitted the evidence and reckons with how immaculate the car is it'll easily get approved fingers crossed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackE46 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 that's good news I took mine to BMW Lloyd in colne, still waiting to hear back, the fella in the body shop said I'd be lucky to hear back from BMW within 6 weeks said they're very slow with things like that, in the meantime I'm trying to get myself some new front wings as mine have been done before meaning BMW won't do them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxtek Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I had some body work done under warranty a few months ago, the whole process took three weeks from when I first went in for the initial inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackE46 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 do they give you a car whilst yours is having work done? I'd need one to drive the 10 miles a day to work, however I'm only 20 so concerned I might not get one due to my age Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calw123 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 The majority of stories i've read they give you one but u may have to insist/push/stamp feet though. I'm hoping i get one i hate not havin a car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calw123 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 I'll go for the feet stamping approach i think, on principle i won't be paying for a car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
