Dealer denying extended warranty

TrevorM3 · 01-06-2016, 08:20 PM

a buddy of mine just purchased an m3 but isn't active on forums told me today he was curious about getting extended, so he called the dealer and they said they will not do it because the car missed it's "initial" service. i guess this is the breakin service? car is a 13 and currently does have factory warranty remaining.

has anyone run into this? should he just call another dealer? or is he SOL?

Try Zurich. BMW of Minnetonka sells Zurich as preferential to the BMW Factory extended warranty.
