You have no doubt been very fortunate. It should also be pointed out your EW is with Carmax iirc as you purchased car there. I doubt anyone else is in same situation as you with a Carmax EW. But as you removed aftermarket parts, obviously you are well aware of your luck. |

Mitsubishi replaced my whole engine with a factory replacement. I’ve had two friends of mines have full mods on their AMG E55 kompressors. The engines blew due to tune and were replaced after all mods were removed.

You can say that dealers are no angels, but, keep in mind that It's attitudes and m.o.s like yours that make some dealers take a hard line on mods; no matter how minor. That's why the guy that has the aftermarket charge pipe gets told "sorry, you've modded the car, we can't help you"; even though the dealer has probably replaced 20 failed stock plastic charge pipes in the last 12 months. With regards to the attitude of "well they're making tons of money, so screw them", the Waltons are worth billions; so by your logic it's acceptable to shoplift at a Walmart or Sams. |

There are also times the mods have not caused said damage to the engine and the consumer gets blamed as well so if I know I did not cause the damage nor the mods put on the car caused the issue and the engine blows I am perfectly fine with the engine being replaced on the dealers tab. NO PROBLEMA!! The two examples I gave were extreme and I have seen it happen and they got covered. That is what I am saying. And yes Screw the dealer because TWICE they screwed me over for tons of money and thats why I take my stance. They tried to gouge my insurance company like a corrupt Dr. stealing and overcharging my Health insurance So please go cry me a FUCKING river somewhere else. Between the dealers and the financiers the dealers try to force you to use, they make Billions off of Lies,leases,warranties and robbing insurance companies which make our premiums go up! So who is the Fuckin Scumbbag douche boy!

I'd say you are lucky. The whole bill would have been yours to pay had the inspector bothered scanning the car thoroughly. But we all know the risks in this game

Would I lie to my dealer over a 1000usd warranty claim caused by my modifications - probably not. 5000usd hell yeah - that is a lot of money!!!

Walks up to stunning model. I’ll pay you $1,000,000 USD to sleep with me. Model: Ok... On second thought, I’ll pay you $10 USD. Model: What do you think I am? We’ve already determined that. Now we are just negotiating price. |

Let me tell you, BMW have become a bunch of f*cking assholes. They denied my engine replacement because I had a catted downpipe on my car. They believed that since I had the catted downpipe and since my car was coded (to fold the damn mirrors when I lock the door), both of those factors caused an internal cylinder wall to get damaged. Best part is, I was on eco pro on the highway going 70mph on the way to work when the car randomly misfired and went to hell. Never tracked the car or raced it and I launched it maybe 5 times in total.
I called BMWNA about 10-15 times and they would not give me a single piece of information on the month long thorough "diagnostics" that they conducted to come up with the conclusion they gave me. All they said was that it'd be roughly $20k for the repair. Obviously no sane person would cough that money up. Even if I had that money to cough up at a moment's notice, it sure as hell wouldn't have gone to the scums at BMW. They're full of shit.

Sounds like you have experience with bad Karma! So stop your stupid little spiritual rant. Stop judging folks and READ! I have not done anything that you would call dishonest but I know folks who have. If I am in that situation I have no problem making that call and I won't sit here worrying about it either. Maybe you need to be introspective about your perfect non perfect life and follow your karma rant in entirety as it would apply to you.. Lol. Now carry your ass on and stop making me the most important part of your day. I am blessed more than you would ever know or care to know!

I have an inside source that does collision work for a dealer but listen to this! My car got hit in the rear by some clown using his cell phone. Fortunately bumper only had some cosmetic damage. Brought the car to the dealer to get repaired and went through the guys insurance. The dealer quoted 5k to fix the bumper which only had a noticeable le scratch. They claimed the number and reinforcement had to be replaced on top of the bumper cameras which still worked and the trunk replaced. I said what the hell! Just paint the bumper!! Guy tells me dont worey we will take care of it. Anyway my source tells me all they did was paint the bumper,never replaced anything and charged the insurance company 5k. If I took the vehicle to an Indy body shop at most the damage was 750.00. The dealer also got over 7k from my insurance and please do not let me explain that story!

I'm not gonna lie, I liked the "E thinggin" comment as well. I've never heard the term, but I immediately knew what he meant... Anyway, this post was about warranty claims and mods.
