Just got my first DTM on my 2013 650 with 35Kmi. Turned out to be #3 plug and coil. Only 7 to go. I wanted to get all replaced, but that would have been on my dime vs paid by warranty, so I just wait for the next one

After my CPO ran out about 18mo ago I bought an extended service agreement through the BMW dealership. Third party Allstate Protection Plan, 3yr/36k mi plan, $4000 and $200 deductible. So I have 18 mo left.
After taking it into the dealer for the DTM, they said they also found a small oil pan gasket leak. The final bill was $3500. I only paid $400 which included the deductible. So I have 18mo to spend another $1000 to break even on buying the plan. After another 18 mo, then we need to decide what to do the the car. It will have about 40-45K mi on it, which is next to nothing, but it will also be 9yr old. Love the car, perfect shape convertible, but . . . |

DTM... forever.
Quote:
Once the DTMs started, they seemed to have knock-on effects on all of the related bits and I was in for 4 injectors, then all 8, then 4 more, then new plugs, then a fuel pump, then vacuum lines...(repeat some of that) the list goes on. (Not DTM related, but the Comfort Access sensors went, Soft-Close Doors needed looked at, and the windows anti-inch sensors have been replaced a few times.. some window seals as well.)... So, I think the warranty was worth it; ymmv. But, in UK we are screwed by BMW not honouring the Customer Care Package (CCP) for the N63 engine. Back home in Freedomland, you should be able to get the CCP I would think: So, as I understand it, in The States they'll fix all of the issues at once and you're not going back over and over - as the partial fixes just pass the stress to other parts of the system... and then they fail... all resulting in DTMs. My Service Adviser has rocks in his head, so I'm sure I won't know anything until after I chase for an update sometime next week. Good luck with yours! |

Update! :(
Just to share an update... Dealer had it for 8days and I picked it up end of last week. I drove it 3 times: once maybe a mile or so to Costco & back; another gentle trip around central London, and then a 12mile trek today to a cycle shop.... and BOOM. Another DTM! :/
It had to be take away on a flatbed. Again. |

Hi, Welcome to BMW. Would you like fires with that?

I was promised an update by EOB today... nada.. of course. I was issued a 69-plate 530e PHEV to drive as a loaner.. pretty decent spec, though clearly the opposite of an F12 650i in so many ways - all of the fun ways especially. It's my first time with any sort of PHEV... interesting concept, but not for me yet. A PHEV X7 would be a perfect daily car for the wife though... if such a thing exists. |
