Try getting an aftermarket company to cover a manufacturers defect...even if they DO, you're stuck with the labor bill. Not the case with a bmw part.

Regardless, your money and peace of mind, not mine...
and bmw should cover a suspension part due to these northeast factors you speak off? they would never! horrible roads, salt exposure are not bmw's fault for a failing suspension part. and good luck proving that it failed due to it's "poor manufacture"

bmw will have a myriad of excuses not to cover a suspension part, and all those reasons you listed would warrant them not covering it.

I am happy BMW did you right by fixing your suspension issues, but your issues had nothing to do with the part failing, but to do with wrong parts / confusion etc.

Suspension components are considered WEAR & TEAR, and are not covered under any warranty. Unless you could somehow PROVE that the defect was their fault.
