Great example of how a BMW dealer should take care of its owners, even if the vehicle wasn't purchased there. Sounds like they're deserving of their Center of Excellence Award.

Wasn't aware the CCV carried a two year warranty - good to know. Had mine replaced in Jan 2012 after another spectacular, smoky failure (my third in eight years). Dealer convinced me to go ahead with the heated wrap fix (at my expense, of course). No issues so far this season, thankfully. It's rare to walk out of a BMW Center without dropping some $$$.

The extended test drive in their latest models is novel and fun, but it's always great to get back in your own X running strong.
