This statement is pure fiction or fantasy, you decide. You have ZERO idea whether they would accept or deny it. And frankly THAT'S MY POINT. We are not talking about a $50 part here that they will waive the cost of without blinking an eye. We're talking in the neighborhood of a $6100 + tax transmission. So why take the risk?
Also do the math:
Filter $55
Gasket $32
Plug + washer $5
Fluid 9.5 quarts @ $170 / gallon ==> need 3 gallons = $510
Oil transfer pump $20
Conservative total w/5% tax = $653.00
Versus
1 year/12,000 mile BMW powertrain plus extended warranty = $1340
So you can change it twice or just buy a warranty for the same amount for a year. Something to think about.
