How could that happen ?

Dont listen to a word they say, They only know their arse from their elbow because their heads are so far up their own arses.

If you are having to pay get it out of there, they will pull your pants down shaft you with a big dildo and charge you for the lube which they wont use.

All of this seems very unfair - but legally, they may have point if you read the small print (although no-one ever does) Would be interesting to know what their position would be if you had AP brakes?

I guess they would suggest therapy with an exorcist

I would say its the dealer who has flagged it as they are the ones that advise the warranty claims dept if its valid or not.

+ 1 on that fooker !
Ditch the dealer mate,its all about how the dealer presents the facts regarding the warranty claim to the guys in the Fatherland, when my engine spun a shell Murketts were asked to send photographs etc., which they did, they are not asked by BMW to even investigate the probable causes, as this would incurr additional labour which Murketts dont get paid for. Now, ...if BMW had of asked for a couple of pictures of the cockpit... it might have been a different story !!and now BMW are about to market a car with roll cage, harnesses and BBK already fitted, bit hypocrytical really !

This is true ...in the USA for sure, after a Court ruling along these very same lines, the ruling was that as long as the after market part contributed in no way to the fault of the OEM part, then the warranty claim should be honoured.
