I've heard this from a very reliable third party. I am just putting it out there for information only. No flame please.
Also the same /// engineer was quoted saying, hang on to the ///3s with S65 engines because it's last of the /// cars with /// DNA and built at the /// centre (I don't know much about this one). All current and future /// cars including 3, 5 and 6 will be series builds along with other non-/// cars.

I hope this is true, but I am not going to take a chance of MAYBE they will cover it just because I let the dealership do the oil changes.

I am in the same boat with regard to the servicing. The car hasn't seen the dealership since it went out of warranty. But I am thinking now, whether I should take it for an oil service every now and then just so that they have a record of oil visits.

The real reason is because they screwed up and they dont want to admit it.
