Just a few comments about some after warranty problems a friend of mine experience after her warranty expired on her 03 325xi.
She took car to a recommended non dealer shop and this is what he found after she complained her her car had a hard time starting in the morning and had no power.
1. 2 oxi sensors were bad.
2. Codes indicated she was hitting on only 4 cyclinders.
3. Look like oil filter was never changes, rubber O ring was crystalized.
4. Front half shaft boot was spewing oil, had to be rebuilt.
5. Air filter looked like it also never had been changed.
6. Car needed tune up., plugs etc.
When she picked up the car, it ran great. The best she said it ran in a long time, it also cost her $2500.00 for parts and labor.
She brought the car for her last service to the dealer about 3 months ago just before she hit 50 K.
Question......How come the dealer did not pick up all the above listed problems. Do we really get the excellent service were promised when we get the 4year 50 K warranties?????????
