The "Genuine" plugs are a 100k mile NGK LASER PLATINUM so likely not an issue yet. But if you are throwing a code for a misfire it is definitely an issue elsewhere in the ignition system. Cylinders misfire all the time it is just dependent on what the Manufacturer sets as its limit of acceptable misfires then it is 150% of that to throw the code. $MODE6 in higher end scan tools will show this limit.

Really would love this warranty pdf too... I brought it up with a dealership in va/dc area and they denied it persistently.

ive called every MD dealership and theyre all saying fuel injectors are not part of the "fuel delivery system" covered under the SULEV warranty... I've emailed BMWNA for hopes of something more concrete from them

Interesting. How are fuel injectors "not part of" the fuel delivery system. LOL. Anyway, I'm in California and I hope I never have to go through this but let me know if BMWNA replies to you, 1Hokie. :-)

But, out of the 4 dealerships in Maryland, the one at silver springs actually took the effort to email their district rep for clarification who agreed if the fuel injectors are bad they will cover it. All other stealerships gave me a hard time no matter what I said Yay for the one decent dealership out there! So hopefully they'll see the 4 misfire codes I'm getting now are related since it has new coils and plugs already. |

BMW made SULEVs for its own benefit, to satisfy a regulator and open a market; it cannot simply transfer the associated liability, without so much as giving notice, to their buyers or to subsequent owners. Think of the bad publicity, not to mention lawsuits that would occur if it did! No, this fix, if it is ever needed, costs about as much as a new motor! That is, it costs way too much! BMW can't possibly think it should saddle owners with it. I think that most likely this story has grown way out of proportion to the actual problem, because of the cost of the repair, which is outrageous even by BMW standards, and because of the lack of information from BMW. I think it's very likely that BMW will cover affected cars under the 15 year, 150K warrantee, no matter where they are located. If they don't, there will be hell to pay! I am an interested party, because I own one... Last edited by yankee2; 08-27-2017 at 01:21 AM.. Reason: to correct typos |

I am having an issue with my 328i 2011 sulev. Has only 67,000. It seems my pvc valve has gone bad and making a huge noise, so I've been told I need to replace valve cover completely, from the warranty stated it should be cover since it's emmisions problem. I live in Florida, I am gonna try the dealership close to me and see what happens, there are 3 within 30 mins so I'll try all three and see what answers I get and I'll report back. I agree completely with your stament, why put this warranty, but only apply to certain states, that's bs. What do I need to do, pay to register it in a state on the books and then file. Seems really stupid, they should cover regardless. Car came from being registered in NJ where the original owner had it, then to Pennsylvania, last stop was Tampa fl where I now am second owner. If that's the case, the first owner should of never let the car leave the state it was covered in. |

Excellent, informative thread. My 2013 128i coupe is starting to run a bit rough at 60K miles. Having this info 'could' be a great help. My 128i has always been a NJ car, so that may help. Also, still covered by the extended CPO. Fingers crossed.

I recently spoke to a local dealer about getting my valve cover replaced as my PCV has failed and whistles. My car is a 2011 N51, originally purchased in PA, then I bought it as a CPO and registered it in NJ for a few years, now I live in TX. My local dealer was extremely helpful and actually was trying their hardest to make this work, but it turned out that my car could not be covered under the SULEV warranty. The service advisor explained that since I'm in TX which does not offer any sort of warranty, they look to the original registration state to determine eligibility for the warranty (for me, that is PA though I never lived there).
In the PDF above, there is a section on states that have partially adopted the SULEV warranty, but not fully. These states are Oregon, Washington, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. It even varies by year and by state - for example, PA adopted the warranty for 2009 and 2010, but not for 2011. If my car were 1 model year earlier, I would have the warranty. If you're currently registered in a SULEV state, I'm not sure how this changes things. What I mean is if I were still living in NJ, and bought the car in PA, I'm not sure which state would apply - the current registration state or the original registration state. It could be that since I'm in TX they look to original, but if you're in a SULEV state, they honor it - that's something worth checking into. Unfortunately this means some of us have the lower performance and higher complexity, and higher repair costs, of the N51 without the warranty. I would advise any N51 owners to fully read the document and be aware of whether the warranty applies to you or not. BTW, I was able to confirm that my local dealer has done multiple SULEV warranty jobs in the past, so if you are in TX with a California car, for example, and the dealer says they can't do the work - they can. Call up Autobahn BMW in Fort Worth if you need assistance. |

My car was originally titled in Oregon and is now registered in NJ, both SULEV states. Would the warranty still be honored for work at a dealership in a non-SULEV state? The car is currently in Virginia with a college student but still registered in NJ. Need to know whether to swap cars and bring it back to NJ!
Thanks in advance. |

I recently purchased a 2009 128i w/145k+ miles on the clock to give to my high school kid. I was fixing all of the normal issues for this car (water pump, OFHG, etc.) and recently came across the SULEV info. The VCG was also leaking and I was able to get the dealer to replace the gaskets (the valve cover itself is not covered) and also the eccentric shaft sensor (due to oil in the plug) under the SULEV warranty. I am in MD (and the car is registered in WA) so I guess that helps - and the dealer in MD that did the work was very familiar with the SULEV warranty. I actually bought all of the parts to do the VCG job myself (and an eccentric shaft sensor). I had them install the new valve cover since I knew the original one was on borrowed time (especially the integrated PCV system). Good Luck!
