I had the airbag module fail on my A4 6 months after the warranty expired. Audi NA and the dealership covered 2/3's of the cost with me paying the last 1/3. Would that be an example? |

Just as an aside, I had flood damage to my 08 and the dealer quoted 34,000 to obtain a new engine from germany and install. Engine was 25k, install 9k. Insurance carrier decided to total instead.

Do you know for a fact that such a form came directly from a BMW dealer or did you "find it on the net?"

All jokes aside i hope all the best works out for the OP.. It will really depend on which dealer and who the OP deals with in that particular dealer to determine the outcome..Best of luck..

Sorry to thread jack but how are you liking the 991? I was at the Glen recently and had the chance to make a few laps in my friends 997.1 GT3 cup car and he is waiting for the 991 GT3 to be released..

Not necessarily. Initially the mechanic and shop foreman will assess the damage and make a preliminary analysis of what needs to be done to correct the problem. Most likely they will need to submit a PUMA case to BMW where they will report their findings and it is there where BMW NA will decide whether or not a regional supervisor will need to come see the car. This is usually how it works but like anything else there are many variables which i cannot get into on a public forum that can affect this decision if you know what i mean. Up until recently i was a SA at a corporate owned dealer so i have seen it first hand.. Awesome..i will go check the thread out!

How can a dealership be owned by corporate? I thought they had to be independent- pretty much what Tesla is have some trouble with in some states now.

Maybe he means owned by a corporation, such as Penske Auto Group.

I thought most stats require the dealership to be independent of manufacturer?
Maybe its different in your state? Tesla just lost a case in Texas about selling direct to consumer as a manufacturer.

Possibly it is different in your state but here in NY BMW NA had ownership of 2 Dealers and so does MB and Audi..
