A/C evaporator leaking. Dealer wants $4k to fix - Page 3

OP, since BMWNA offered you $500 dollars in discount, see if you can get them to cut you a check instead. Then take it to a mechanic of your choice. Worth trying.

I was told that once the decision is made at the BMWNA level, the issue is a dead issue. There is no changing that decision. The car is fixed now so I'm done with it. I'll just take joy knowing the BMW or the dealer didn't get any of my money for the labor on this. BMW and the dealer still got some money since the indy used OEM parts ordered through the dealer.

Im surprised there's no PUMA case opened if this has been a common issue for cars in Hawaii.

Market is too small. A common issue on M3s in Hawaii is about 5 cars

BMWNA used to monitor RoadFly, but not sure if they're still there.
Too bad they're not here much, because this is an obvious case where someone should have taken care of you, even if it was pay for 1/2 of the repair; which wouldn't save you any money, but would look a lot better and maybe keep a customer.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
