I finally took the plunge!

That's fair enough then mate, are the SMG updates covered under warranty?

I know my mate is paying around £75 exc VAT for some to be done on his M3 Cab!?

Reprograming the smg is not coverd under warranty,according to Andy,but the warranty will ask them to try this first,cost is about 60quid.Probably a waste of 60quid :bigcry:but should be worth in the long run.

Do you think BMW HQ will think it a little weird that there's one dealer who's got lots of warranty claims going against CSL's ?

Don't forget your warranty doesn't start for a month and issues before the start date aren't covered - not sure how they can prove it though ?

I guess if you've been into a dealer with a problem before you buy and then get the warranty to try and cover it they can poss pull history of diagnoses work or quotes for repairs?

Good questions to be honest mate! When I spoke to Andy he said they look after 56 CSL's now! :supz:

I know my warranty doesn't come in until 9th March, takes the piss really as it's an annually renewable policy isn't it? Therefore how can they cover you for only 11 of the 12 month policy?

Do they do this every year!? :whistle::banghead:

Murketts are in Huntingdon... 20 miles west of Bloody Cambridge :hahaha: unless U want to get fooked about by Elms BMW :whistle:

[shimmy]

Hopefully BMW can see that Murketts get our business because they know CSLs and they know what BMW Uk are willing to do on them both warranty claims and goodwill.

Credit to Murketts and Bmw as they seem to recognise that some things on the CSL were requiring support for past the standard warranty period

otherwise it is a tiny proportion of their work I guess but just a nice sideline to specialise in

My CSL had a NEW Clutch kit (including the duel mass fly wheel) fitted under warranty at the end of 2007. Do U think they would have updated my SMG at the time ? Have there been further SMG updates since 2007 ? For £41 :thumbs: I might just get Andy to do it regardless.
