Hi All - just thought I'd share my little tale and maybe help a few of you from my experience....
Decided to hand wash my car (m3 performance) on the weekend as I was at a bit of a loose end and noticed a fair bit of corrosion at the front end of the sills.
My car is an early, high mileage m3, I have extended warranty.
Assuming it to be covered, logged it through the app, only to be told that body corrosion is covered only in the original basic vehicle warranty, (mine had expired Sep 23), and it was not covered in the extended warranty.
I did comment that this has not occurred in the last 5 months, and was informed, not covered unless informed before original warranty expired - basically 'piss off'.
IMO it is either poor quality paint or poor design to have a high impact area only protected by paint and not plastic or underseal or splash guards.
Don't know if this has been designed out of later models, sure you guys will inform me of this...
For the rest of you, go check whilst your car is in warranty and get the call logged....maybe you can learn from my tardiness, meanwhile I have a repair to pay for, exactly why I got the ex-warranty, for the peace of mind against unexpected bills.
