I have a 10 month M3 that serviced for front end alert sensors malfunction on FB 21. A few days after this service I noticed a funny sound coming from under the car. My husband requested a service appt but couldn’t get an appt until a week later. In the meantime the scraping sound continued.
When service occurred, we were told the mid aero shield panel was shredded and were charged $200! We were told the problem was probably caused by driving over a pot hole or speed bump.
I had no idea about this part and am stunned that it’s not covered under warranty. I’m also concerned about driving the car in the future - what if I drive over a curb or pothole by mistake. Is this car really that delicate? Regular non-electric cars aren’t. Why isn’t the aero shield panel under warranty? Can someone help me understand this? I fear regular replacement costs in my future.
