Gonna lean on the warranty & BMW assist here. No point in driving the fecker now after reading Glendogs & Gastro's experience !! |

This bloody happened to me this morning!!!
Managed to get car home... just... called BMW ES and within 40 mins a mech was at my house. Checked it out and confirmed it as alternator. It was on the back of a truck no more than 1 1/2 hours later and i've just received a BMW 3 series hire car for 1 week.  Got to say i'm well impressed with the speed and quality of the service. Scary how many alternators are failing though. |

Yep mine went 2 weeks ago, light been and off for ages, then once stayed one I called the BM ES guys, he followed me rather than stick it on a trailer, but it coasted to a halt about 5 miles into my journey to the dealer, good job he was behind me and stuck on a new battery.

You're not a 'proper' CSL owner unless you experience a red battery light at some point!
