Sorry to hear about your problems.


I have a '99 BMW M3 and on a road trip I lost a coolant hose and the car immediately lost all coolant and overheated. Apparently there was some valve damage but the dealer missed it the several times I took the car in for a coolant warning on the display. They kept telling me it was just a faulty sensor. I went on driving, worsening the damage until finally I made them look at the engine itself as the car just didn't feel right. They found the damage and since they had overlooked it atleast 4 or 5 times, they unded up replacing half the engine under warranty!

So, after 50,000 or so km I received what added up to basically a new M3 engine. Worked out really well in the end, but throughout the process I vented a lot as well.

I'm glad things more or less worked out with your extended warranty.
