Re: Warranty & Service Package Expiring
IMO, quite often these repair/replacements are Wear and Tear, eg. aircon, belt, brake pad/disc, radiator, coolant tank.....blah-blah. BUT it is definitely PROGRAMMABLE, not thru software program, though. By wear and tear nature, brake pad will wear out, pastic/rubber biologically degrades over time, etc. And so I am VERY sure BMW oni time the 'durability' of these expendable items.
Depends on the driving style and driving condition (eg. constantly under HOT sun), one can 'sway-sway' experience simultaneous or consecutive kaputs literally at the same time.
I am inclined to think such experiences apply to other rides as well....
After waranty, go to your friendly, familiar non-PML workshop. You will easily save on the labour cost! My experience - 20%-30% saving! And usually u need to certain part(s). But PML will always wan u to change the WHOLE set!
