Do I get BMW to strip my box or not? Clutch slur

[Matt21]

I was wondering how they knew the rivets were < 1mm too. Can the diagnostics tell them that?

If it's not too bad then maybe get your next oil/inspection service done at Barletts and ask them to diagnose it at the same time?

Think this is what I will do.

Agreed that warranty is not worth the money now

I'll second that sentiment :banghead: I've stopped mine in 2013 after the Munich 10 Year CSL Anniversary Euro trip.

No warranty, although I try to cover as much as I can with various preventative maintenance and regular servicing instead. Can't imagine it'll be too long before none of the remaining Cesils are running warranties

Wish I could get one for the E34 though! :whistle:

After the mix up the conclusion was the box needed to be taken out to inspect. At £900 plus VAT, with an expensive holiday next week, I didn't take the risk.

Has anyone ever known a box being stripped and the clutch actually worn hence not covered?

Going to monitor slur over the next few months and it will be back it for a strip down when I'm more comfortable with the risk, or when I have done more research!

Thanks to those who offered advice.

You either have a very small leak in the SMG system, gearbox spring broken but working, clutch needs replacing or something along these lines. Try find my thread on this and it will detail what I did and how I have ZERO slur. Mine may not be your problems but it will provide you an idea.

I had my car booked in with Elms, but now that they don't have any master technicians there since Gareth left, I wasn't confident leaving it there. So I cancelled the appointment and booked it in with Sytners in Peterborough (the very same garage that Bartletts use for all their parts requirements ). There are 27 master technicians in the country - 3 of which are at Peterborough - I think that tells you enough.

They sorted out the warranty claim on the cams (and were very through with the car). If you want a contact there it is [email protected] , he is one of the master technicians currently working on my car. I spent a few minutes chatting with him to feel him out and he gives you the same confidence that you get with dealing with Gareth (as in knows more than you do about the cars, not less :bigcry: ).

I can vouch for Steve Schweikhardt @ Sycamore's. Replaced my Diff last month and was recommended by Bartlett's.
