I'm sure that rules are different in Belgium. In the U.S., the dealer has to prove that the modification caused the part to fail. For example, if you're going 20 mph at 1500 rpms and your engine blows, this is not something that would be a result of an aftermarket intake as long as it was working within spec.
Of course, you can find yourself in a long legal battle with your dealer so you should understand that even though the dealer is denying a warranty claim, it may not be legal on their part to deny it unless they can prove that your part caused the issue. This is why it's always helpful to have legal representation for cases like these because the dealership will almost always say it's your fault. Things are not as black and white as illustrated in that above post. Also, BMW will not tell you to "get bent." If BMW denies a claim, Carbahn covers it. I already checked with BOTH, Carbahn and my local BMW service advisor who works for a Carbahn friendly dealership. Sure, there are some horror stories out there, but that's why you make sure that you do it the right way at the right dealership and keep in close contact with all parties in case something does happen. Carbahn is not the first company to do something like this. APR has been doing it with VWs and Audis for years. https://apb-law.com/understanding-ma...ket-car-parts/ Last edited by AmooManiak; 03-09-2021 at 04:26 PM.. |
