Another Successful 3rd Party Warranty Claim

I noticed a small leak near my transmission oil cooler last week; so I took it to my indy shop. They quoted replacing the Transmission Oil Cooler along with a leak they found in the Timing Cover Plugs, and re-quoted both engine mounts, that were denied during my March claim, this time citing noticeable breakdown in the hydraulic mount and excessive movement in the engine.

All three jobs were approved by Endurance with my APEX Pro VSC. With about 90days remaining left in my VSC, thus far they have covered quite a bit of work that will keep this car on the road for sometime. Still praying for the OFH to go while under warranty, but I definitely have gotten my money's worth out of the VSC (3x what I paid for it).

March Repairs: 1x CV Boot Repl., Both Front Lower Tension Control Arms, Headlight Switch, Turbo Coolant Line Repl., Guibo Flex Disc, Both Rear Shocks.

October Repairs: Trans Oil Cooler Repl., Both Timing Cover Plugs, Both Engine Mounts.

Finally got around to swapping out the factory tail lamps with OEM LCI Euro Tails with amber turn signals.

Definitely worth every penny. Took my time on the install and took it to a local Specialty BMW shop for coding, but they couldn’t figure it out, sent me home at no charge. When they finally figured it out, they had a 2wk backlog for an appointment, so I just went with Vic from the forums…he had it done remotely last night in about 20min, no issues.
