are you guys kiddin
well i hope my warranty covers it, i will be getting the call today and i see what happens. Yesterday when i went in to drop the truck off, i had talked to the service manager directly and was telling me that my ext. warranty most probably will cover it, and went even further to say that they will replace the other side as well because it looks like its also wearing, so i was under the impression that it will be covered, well at least until now......well i wait and see and keep you all updated....

When my CV boots failed under CPO, went to 2 different BMW dealerships to see about coverage. Both said no. At that time, I just had to deal with it. Now seeing that some of the dealers cover it and some don't pisses me off to a higher level. This wishy washy Bull$hit is what at the end of the day makes me not want to deal with any of the dealerships. Understanding these vehicles have a ton of hp and being all wheel drive makes it that much worse. The boots are junk. Plain in simple. Goes with anything freaking rubber on the truck...cooling hoses, breather hoses.......
Before anyone flames me, this is why I 1st try the work myself and if I can't I take it to my indy guy.

The boots a cheap, the dealers are cheaper! It's up to each dealer to read into the CPO contract whatever they choose. When you ask BMW NA you'll get "Each BMW dealership is an individual entity that we have no control over...." That's their out. Then when you ask the dealer you get "BMW NA will not allow me to replace it under the CPO contract...." That's the dealer's out. If you are one of the chosen you may get boots covered but you will have paid a lot of money over the years to be in that group.

whoa
just got mine back and cv boot repaired, labour was out of hand on it but parts were not so much, oh and a rain sensor module that blew my mind when i seen the price, thanks to the ext. warranty i walked out the same as i walked in, but only 50 bucks short which was my deductable......
when i first bought the warranty i thought the 50 bucks was ridiculous but now its like whatev, these dealers can make a bill!

And thanks to this thread it just solved the mystery of why I had so much grease on my drivers side wheel (after a 1,400 mile trip to the coast). So my X goes to my indy mechanic tomorrow to have the CV boot replaced. And unfortunately I don't have warranty. (sigh)

Good news! I just got my X back from the shop. It was $233 to replace the CV boot including parts (a whopping $44). My right CV boot is starting to crack so we are going to do that one in about 2,000 miles when I need my next oil change. I'm happy it wasn't too spendy and I didn't have to do the work and that makes me grin!
