That seems absurd! The factory warranty is determined by BMW, not the stealership. +1 is should definitely be covered.I called BMW USA and they said to take it to another dealer to see if they would cover it under warranty.
Maybe so, but in the corporate world of warranties, "not" often means "not unless the customer will not take no for an answer." Be persistent, and they will eventually step up to the plate and do the right thing.The BMW USA said the bushings are "not" covered under warranty...
I agree that this part should be covered.Any help or suggestions? I really don't think I should have to pay for this.
Hmm, if you look at OEM part numbers, those bushings might be common with E60s. I'm not particularly a fan of ecs tuning after a less than stellar customer service experience, but they have had a good stock of urethane bushings.I'm looking for a source for performance bushings, the OEM bushings only lasted 29k miles. Any sources? My mechanic hasn't been able to find any.
Well! We dont call them the $tealers for nothing.$1200 to replace the bushings hardly seems "not expensive" plus it requires a $200 alignment.
Try to goole polyurethane bushings. You shall find many manufacturers of PU bushings biut none of them manufacture any for the E60 or E63.I'm looking for a source for performance bushings, the OEM bushings only lasted 29k miles. Any sources? My mechanic hasn't been able to find any.
