Somebody posted how BMW "marks" vehicles for this sort of work in another thread -- IIRC involved looking at a metal decal placed on a post?

This group has been a godsend for me in terms of becoming informed.

I'm entering week 3 of driving a (free) loaner so this is non-trivial work.

Holy cow BMW must be losing a boatload of money on these, in the attempt to make it right.
I actually just left a local BMW dealership during lunch. I wanted to ask some direct questions to a service advisor. Was trying to get some expectations of the service plan. I never knew they covered everything except tires and alignments. I would've been back into bimmers 6 cars ago. I remember reading about getting a car certified if it passed certain standards. I was trying to get a confirmation on that. The car I'm considering isn't at a bmw dealer. So I need to know these things up front. Also want to be clear on the best extended warranty plans. They directed me to another person that handles those things. Haven't spoke with them yet. Peace...Netm8kr
