Hm. Something came to my mind. When we compared the PDC sensors from the M-kit and the Non M-kit, they looked a little bit different. On the M-Kitted car, the sensors has a extra ring on the sensor itself, probably there is some kind of adapter that comes with the M-kit. Let me dig up the M-Kit installation guide and get back to you later.

That's totally wrong. I used all my original PDC sensors. Any pics of your ride?

Lets see... 30 X 2 to 3 years makes 60 to 90 years... so lets take the average... 75 years... and you said you'll be over 100 by then right? so 100-75 makes 25... AH HA! the numbers work out! you're about 25 years old!

Btw, just got my car back from service (left it there while I was away). My goodness, they really took good care of me, changed so many new parts for my car I was overwhelmed. Some new parts not expected : two new front brake discs (yes discs, not just pads), wishbones on both front suspension (not previously damaged), and belts in engine compartment. I must say, way to go "extended warranty"!....hehe. Anyone who's on HK side, I highly recommend Brian Lai at Chai Wan service centre, great guy !
Nowadays no one go through the trouble putting the disc on a lathe, they just put a new one in.
The wishbone suspension part I am really surprise they changed it for you. Maybe there's something wrong with it or is a TIS by BMW to replace it under warranty otherwise I don't think they would touch it.
But for all the money you paid for the extended warranty, I think this is just 獲利回吐 for them.
But hey at least they give you something for your money's worth.
