Hey, who's signing the check? That's why there's a thing called competition. If a merchant is not serving you well, move on.

Is this still valid to get an inspection? The wording on the site was a little unclear about the timing. My car is an 11/07 build 2008 E61 if it matters.
Did you ever find anyone in the Boston area? I'm in the same boat. Sudbury is the dealer I usually go to, but they've also given me run around on some other things. I'm tempted to make an appointment with a loaner request, take the car in with the letter, and let them sort it out.
Has anyone had luck bringing a care to a dealership for the inspection and relocation? I have called my local dealership in Mass (herb Chambers in sudbury) a few times now and they have no idea what I am talking about. I provided the service letter. Each time i am told they are going to research it and call me back but never hear back.
They are getting paid for the work so I am not sure why they are ducking the issue

I filed a claim last May when this all started for mine for work that had been done a few years ago. I've called the claim office monthly for updates and still have not received a check even though the settlement has been authorized. seems that BMW is really dragging their heels on this whole thing....

i'm guessing no dealer is going to touch it until there is an authorized repair procedure and technical bulletin from BMW instructing their technicians exactly what to do, what components to relocate, how many hours can be billed, etc.

I just walked into my local dealer (Perillo, Chicago) and mentioned this back in December. They knew exactly what to do and took care of it during some other service. If you’re still having trouble, I can dig out my paperwork and send more details of how they coded the repair.
