Rust options?
Gave the car a good clean and waking today
Whilst down at the bottom of the drivers door, I noticed a small rust bubble. On the sill and seems to be coming from inside out (ie paint is still intact). What are my options with this? I'm unsure as to the BMW warranty on corrosion, the car is a 53plate, and will be 10 years old in November. Pic attached. Also, I noticed a small bubble (difficult to capture) on the boot lid. What would be the options for this? Thanks |

from pics, looks like it has previous paint, looks like a bit of filler to right of rust?
If so BMW will say foxtrot Oscar. If standard they should repair foc |

I thought it was only the 2004 cars that have a ten year warranty on the bodywork.

6 years anti-corrosion warranty for cars manufactured before 1/1/2004. Cars after this date have 12 years warranty.
