my da has mercs and he says they have a 30 year guarantee, or something crazy like that. He has just has a 7 year old car fully painted (three weeks work) under warranty because of rust bubbles here and there.

shed, sell it!

Suspect this damage has started in the factory when built, or it's a sacrificial corrosion caused by the dissimilar metal of the door catch material. Defo a warranty job would have thought, hardly wear and tear or neglect. I hope they make a good job of blending in the repair to the rest of the paint!

Will check mine the night!! Thanx for the info'.

You should start a CSL warranty consultancy, whenever someones CSL warranty is about to expire you get Mark round to point out all the bits needing sorted! :notworthy: :notworthy:

You could officially become BMWs most hated man!!

I am that man lol
But what causes this is the plastic cover holds dirt then water.
after i get it painted and yes it will have to be spot on i shall put grease
on it before i put the plastic cover back on

I had mine done aswell on the drivers side , it was only one small speck ,but thought it might aswell be done,seeing as they wouldn't replace my wheels or clutch !!

OK, so it's a bit of a thread resurrection... just had both of mine done under warranty (at last - a warranty claim finally gets honoured :beer: after my disappointments with "named components" cover).

I guess people with 2003 registered cars may now be out of luck on this as it's well past the 6 year mark.
