When I bought this car there were 2 known (relatively minor) faults that the dealer agreed could be fixed by my local BMW dealer and then recharged to them. This was so I could pick up the car immediately. Very happy with that arrangement.

BMW have just diagnosed the faults and the approximate cost to fix (if I was paying) would be about £1500

Fortunately the dealer is sticking to their agreement to pay for the work. Phew!

But this does underline the costs associated with these highly specified cars.

FYI the work involved is to replace 2 comfort access door handles (£500) plus fixing a faulty camera for the parking system (about £500) plus about 5 hours labour (£500).

Makes the BMW warranty a lot more attractive, but not sure how much of this would have been covered though. The camera fault was due to corrosion caused by water ingress through a faulty seal. I guess the warranty would cover the cost of the faulty seal (presumably not very much), but how about the consequential damage (most of the cost)?
