I went in this morning early, My climate control keeps turning on after i press off so i figured have them check it out, I needed a oil change, and then my right front brake is making that lovely high pitch squeel when coming to a stop. I had the pad service less than 2 weeks ago. The service guy says he cant do anything, cause im not covered. I was WTF?? I told him I have 6/yr100 on both plans. Then the service guy says oh BMW's website is down so I cant verify your warranty. Yet others are getting their cars in and out. I told the service guy screw it just change the oil, let the brakes fry!! you'll have to replace them anyways so, I am still in shock 2 years plus buying my car there and I got shunned. Who has a corporate BMW number I can call.

I swear my GF's Mini problem no this BS. Oh LOL that crappy bmw survey keeps callling and calling and calling bunch of hound dogs

please feel free to vent also

Sounds like you need to find a new dealership.

I had same problem with A/C.
Turns on automatically no matter how many times I press OFF button.
Funny thing is, it never happens when I take into dealer to check.
I have warranty till 100,000 miles (I am assuming Powertrain Warranty) but I don't have the maintenace warranty.

+1 But tell the dealership you are going to rate them SO poorly! See how fast they take care of your problem then!!

Sounds like there may have been some bad blood going on. Find or call the Dealership GM ... let him/her know you were not happy about the treatment you got from a SA. If you still get crappy treatment you'll find a BMW Customer Service Number in your owner's portfolio.
