Do all BMW's have a 6 year paint warranty?

Mercs have a 10 year dont they?

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.

I have heard of this.

I know people who have had full resprays under warranty.

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!

You could officially become BMWs most hated man!!
