Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Here's the latest from the "stealer"....SA just called to say that Mercury agreed to pay for the valve cover gaskets, rear diff seals, tranny gasket and sleeve, coolant overflow bottle. Here's what pissed me off....Mercury agreed to pay them for 2 hours to diagnose.....BMW wants me to pay them 2.5 hours at $130 PH :thumbsdown: . When I first sat down with my SA she mentioned that it would cost $130 per hour and be about 4 hours to diagnose...I was under the assumption that if I decided to go ahead and do the repairs that I would have to worry about a charge to diagnose. BTW Mercury is paying them $2,650!!!! Am I getting shafted or what!!!? 
I just got into a big argument with her....she's gonna speak to her manager and get back to me.

Stick to your guns but try not having "big arguments' with SA. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. ;-)

HOLY CRAP! I think I'll be getting the Mercury policy - this is crazy that they just covered everything - very glad that you seem to be doing great with this issue.
BTW I do think that there is something VERY wrong with a 60k dollar car going THIS bad in such a small amount of miles... then again, I'm bettin' not too many Ferraris or Masers even make it to the 50k mile marker, so ... either way, good luck and please keep us updated.
PS If you have a connect to get that Mercury policy, can you PM me pls. Tks
