Initially the service guy tried that, and that's where things got a little nasty. I told him it was my understanding that the service is something that's included in the purchase of the car (which it is), and has nothing to do with the warranty. I was prepared to raise hell if he wanted to stick to that position, but he backed off of it and agreed to do it, and look at the other issue I was having (even though they did a half assed job of it).

The included service is something they advertise as a benefit of buying a BMW, and they really don't have any right to deny it, short of you altering one of the service items with something aftermarket, like changing the air filter for example.
