Sorry to read what you went through and don't disagree with any of your feelings to what they didn't do! I don't care for dealers like that either.

But one person mentioned here "CPO" and if this was a CPO it would have covered the powertrain and including the engine. But since you say it was a third party warranty, that is the definition of not being CPO.

I am surprised BMWNA stepped up the way they did, but IMHO, Elmhurst should have covered the remaining 25% at the very least. I think that type of goodwill would have been the best advertising money spent by them!

Just my 2 cents worth.
