How many need to crack, in your opinion, before BMW recognizes that whether bought new used or otherwise the problem is a defect in manufacturing and not abuse or neglect by end user. For example.. If 2 million people bought used Toyota Corollas. And all 2 million of those Toyota Corollas had the exact same issue, would your opinion be "You bought cheap, and used, no need to warranty". Or would there be some word for this problem.. maybe "recall" comes to mind. |

TypeM4,
So what is your opinion in my case, I purchased a 2nd hand M4 that came with the exhaust. Does that classify as used and cheap? The car had 11,600 and in no way was cheap |

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the OP or any other members. I sure the answer is in the warranty manual for the car or the part one. I hope BMW takes care of the OP!!! I just don't think they are the evil empire if they refuse. Last edited by Fake News 2017; 02-01-2017 at 09:13 PM.. |

The people that are affected by this cracked exhaust have you noticed a change in sound or any irregular vibrations? I'm just curious if this hairline crack we are seeing is even causing any real problems.

Yes I had a cracked MPE before. The sound is less deep. The difference was very obvious!

I am not attempting to put words in your mouth but your clarification helped. My question was very much directed towards the “receipt” comment. There are many out there that might not have receipts when they purchase a car 2nd hand. So then does that mean they do not have warranty coverage? That is a very grey area and must have more supporting facts. So then you would resort to trying to find out thru history if it was a legitimate purchase or from the so called used market. In my case I purchased the car which had it on there and without documentation so I have no idea when or where it came from. It is not on the build sheet so If BMWUSA turns down the repair and my car is still in its warranty then I will inquire deeper with the dealer on when and where it was installed. If it turns out the owner did not go thru BMW then I am screwed and will accept that but just saying “no receipt” is really not an accurate statement. I am not an argument started or flamer just like facts to be stated and there are many on here with much less experience with BMW. I do appreciate your feedback |

Damn You!! ...this thread has gotten me super paranoid now. Gotta check mine first thing since mine is second hand too... and i did notice a change in tone on mine. Urghhh
Does anyone know the cost to weld?? Sounds like less of a headache than dealing with BMW.

Glad you went the safe route, is BMW covering your repair or replacement? |
