Official BMW warranty issues

[Capsaisin]

If you have a fault with your Mini and you think you are getting the run around from your dealer, try taking a look here:

http://www.alldata.com/tsb/BMW/index-issue.html

You might find your fault is actually well known to BMW!

ps Mini bulletins start with an M before the number.

NEW EDIT

I found the root directory with a lot more TSBs take a look at;

As before, the Mini TSBs have to be sorted out from the other BMW.
I will also paste in a direct link further down the page.

Phew, I was too lazy to do that What a long list, and they're only recent. I think you have to subscribe to get the full list back to 2002.

no bother really... copy the page into exel- it sorts the columns out, the sort the data and copy into this dialogue box

Capsaisin, you are a GENIUS!!!

When I took my mini convertible for its 30k mile service to Stratstone Derby, I mentioned a gearbox noise at idle which disappears when you press the clutch. I got no response whatsoever, and now following your link, it seems it is a known fault and the dealer should replace the clutch if a customer complains!

Suffice to say, I will be making a visit tomorrow morning and complaining...

Thanks again!

I also found this which is quite interesting and covers many of the faults I have seen discussed on mini2

Hope it helps someone to combat the dastardly dealers.

Just found this which seems to be the archive for all the BMW TSBs. Seems to cover quite a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

As the previous link, the Mini TSBs have to be sorted out from all the others.

Hi, JDinho, can you do anything with this? A list like the last one would be a great help I think.
