10 year body work guarantee ?

[Mike RT4]

Just as an aside, once the 10 year "Goodwill warranty" has run out, would the Mondial warranty cover the sub-frame issues?

Only asking, as mine was checked before Christmas and has no signs what-so-ever of cracking, but the 10 year BMW cover runs out in September this year .

Spoke today with the warranty man at my local dealer about the the body work warranty. He confirmed that cars sold before jan 2004 only had 6 year corrosion cover but if your car did show to have problems to have it inspected by them and they would send a report on the damage and what it would take to repair it to BMW. it would then be up to BMW to decide wether as a goodwill guesture to repair it or not bearing in mind that it could cost between 3 and 4k to repair he did say that chances are some e46 m3s might not be worth much more than that. csl models are different obviously . Asked him also would the Mondial warranty cover it he said no that it is only covered on the corrosion warranty . A lot to be said for owning a 04 model?

Yea bought a few cars off them over the years and my sales guy moved to them as well.
I use Bavarian for servicing though, wouldn't use anyone else if im honest mainly because they have an avid CSL nut amongst them who I cannot fault in the slightest.
Cant say too much, dont want him getting a big head as he pops in here now and again :thumbs:

Good to know that about bavarian.to have somebody who loves these cars working on them is a good thing .i've bought cars of both places in the past can't say I was entirely satisfied with a couple of experiences in both places but I suppose that happens. I've been using an independent for my work an ex BMW technician who set up in banbridge German motor works I'm been very impressed with their work .good thing he also does tyres so very much a one stop shop.

Sadly I also can relate to a few bad buying experiences from both as well.
That said Bavarian have really gone out of their way the past few times so I keep going back.
Didn't know of the guys in Banbridge must keep them in mind.
