Battery not covered under warranty...

[SuperGreg]

So I get into the X this morning to take her to the dealer for some warranty work and the battery is drop dead. I called Roadside Assistance, and an hour later I was off and running. I get a call an hour later, and the dealer tells me that the battery needs to be replaced and is not covered by the warranty due to my low mileage. Don't laugh, it's a MY 2002 and has 16,500 miles. The car turns 4 in 2 weeks. The dealer goes on to tell me that the battery is $135 + 1 hour labor for a total bill of $260. WTF!!!

I immediately called BMWNA to lodge a complaint, and to try and get them to pay for it. I'm still waiting for their call.

Have you ever heard of such a thing??
