Does anybody know if BMW dealers will "goodwill" the SULEV warranty for cars slightly out of the warranty period?
Bought my '08 128i at 150k miles, so it is technically out of warranty. It rolled over 150k during my test drive and now has about 150,100 miles on it. I have a pesky EAC sensor CEL. |

2011 N51 SULEV issues
Been fighting this thing for quite some time now. Service Engine Soon light every time I turn around. Rough idle, engine shaking bad when engine is screaming, misfires, etc. I have already replaced plugs & wires, both VANOS cylinoids, valve cover, new battery. I have gotten rid of the engine scream & most of the rough idling & the car seems to be driving great but Service Engine Soon light just cam on again & now I'm getting codes 2A7A (cold start/VANOS outlet) & 2A87 (Exhaust VANOS code). Dealership is stating that there is no SULEV warranty bc Virginia does not participate in Emissions but i just found out that Northern Virginia does. Not sure where to go from here. Dealership is going to bust me wide open if I take it there. Any other suggestions from anyone out there?

However, the SULEV warranty period is different for different SULEV states - a fact that my dealer that did SULEV work initially missed in the fine print. Some SULEV states have the full 15yr/150k mile warranty - like CA. Others, like MD have less (7yrs/70k miles). See attached pic for some of the "fine print" my dealer found after the fact...

Thanks for the printout. I am getting periodic Secondary Air System and Lambda Probe codes, so I can use the printout as proof that I have the 15/150,000 coverage.

Hey guys, just want to give an update about this warranty. I've had great luck so far. Dealerships in both NJ (Bloomfield) and NYC (BMW Manhattan) have honored it without me even mentioning the warranty, they usually call to say which parts will be covered. My car was purchased and is currently registered in PA and I believe it's originally from CA.
Anyways, really happy with my experiences so far. I had my VCG replaced and now getting all the coils done under the warranty. |

For me, they replaced all spark plugs and coil packs. They also replaced the valve cover gasket and eccentric shaft seals etc. The last time my car had issues I traced it down to the crankshaft sensor and saw that it was under SULEV warranty and brought it in and it was done for free under warranty. Never had to fight about the SULEV warranty, in fact they usually point it out before I have a chance to bring it up. Take advantage of it!!

One coil was confirmed misfiring and causing rough idle, so instead of replacing 1, they did all 6.

Just got a call from the dealer about the misfiring. They replaced all six coils and spark plugs. They said replacing all of the coils and plugs was BMW's policy. No charge at all, and even got an X1 for a loaner. Runs great now!

I’m in the same boat right now, but do you think it’ll work if mines was initially registered in California? |

Circle BMW
I just had a great experience with Circle BMW in Eatontown. Service Mgr Robert Datri knew all about the warranty and I had all plugs,coils, and valve cover replaced (crack i didn't even know about) after scheduling an appointment for a service engine soon light, code being Cyl 4 mis-fire with no noticeable symptoms.I couldn't be happier with their service and zero up-sell tactics.
