Warranty - leather upholstry

[Moe]

As you all know i just bought a car well the drivers side bolster looks slightly worn just reckon the didnt get in and out of it properly so my question is does the warranty cover thsi can i get it sorted under warranty???

regards Moe

[Nickleback]

Yes, got mine sorted, they had to change the complete rear seat to get it to match :D :D

[Moe]

kool looks like a trip to bmw :P

[Juber]

bro take full advantage of the warranty while it lasts ;)

[mysticm3]

yes mate Dan (chaos) also got his previous 325ci seats replaced under warranty

[Chaos]

Yup had my driver's side done for the same reason, then my passenger side cos it didn't match the new stuff lol. Tried the same with my new one right at the end of the warranty and they just went on and on and on delaying a decision so in the end I told them to ram it, but I reckon I could have got it done on this one too if I'd kept at them.

[Moe]

Well i got warranty til august 07 so reckon im ok

cos u notified them during the warranty period, it should be still covered

[Raja_SMGII]

The same, got mine changed; I didn't have the brains to push to have the passenger seat replaced as well though. Don't make the same mistake I did... chase them before your warranty is up.

would this be covered on an extended warranty? How come they dont just say its wear and tear due to xs use or summin? My drivers bolster is slightly worn too so should i jus take it in?

[Chaos]

That's the argument they'll try. The longer the extended warranty, the more they'll be able to justify it, but if it's under the 3 years then they can hardly say the leather has worn out due to use unless they can prove you've been rubbing up and down it for 10 minutes a day or something. :D

...., but if it's under the 3 years then they can hardly say the leather has worn out due to use unless they can prove you've been rubbing up and down it for 10 minutes a day or something. :D

LOL, isn't that what your supposed to do????

I would be very angry if they are saying that wear & tear is visible after 18,000 miles!!! BMW should dessign their cars and make sure that leathers and other bits are good of up to 100,000miles!

[Moe]

I got 16k miles so hardly wornn a lot

[Chaos]

Only to Sabine's M5. ;)

Juber, you could say that about a lot of things dude, but they still wouldn't give a shit. :(

[benny boy]

The leather bmw use is is crap Lee330sport had same problem after about 10k

[Afif]

yea but with Lee's driving the bolsters got a heavy beating ;).

[benny boy]

true i drove lee's the other night with the uprated engine hehe love it so fast and the sound of exhust is so sweet ;)

Hi guys,

I have an extended warrenty, which runs out next sat.

My drivers side front red leather seat is well worn, due to being the most used seat

Also the grey plastic material on door arm rests has started to bubble as if it wasn't fitted properly or the heat has affected it

Are these issues covered on the warrenty? has anyone else experienced these prob which have been sorted on the warrenty?

The M's only done 35K.

If so think I might take a trip to BMW 2mrw.

Cheers
