TBH the parts look like a Kid made them, total cheap shit.

I just picked up my car and this is what they did:

JUPJAI · 11-08-2014, 02:27 PM

It took them 6 hrs to do that!!!! I was originally told that I would need a loaner car as it would be overnight likely.....and my 0900 dropped vehicle still was not ready until 1500 hrs.

M6-Coupe · 11-08-2014, 03:53 PM

well it took them 6 hours to charge $900 ( 6 X $150) BMWNA

My car was sitting in service department for 3 days to get the part because I dropped my car and asked them to do that!

Spinny02 · 11-08-2014, 04:26 PM

A little foil always does the trick.. its amazing stuff...

JOHNBMWM5 · 11-09-2014, 03:09 AM

I would not have paid $1 for that lash up. Fucking joke.

They do cars here in the UK for free, and no wonder, a kid could do that.

bimmer-boy · 11-09-2014, 04:06 AM

Is that for real ?

johntomferg · 11-09-2014, 04:49 AM

Wrapping from a roll of heat shield tape would look better and take less time.

6hr??? That's a rip off, my dealer did that plus change wheels plus oil change for less that 4 hrs

bobblehead · 11-09-2014, 07:40 AM

^ did you check to see if they ever change the clamp ? After all, it's the clamps that are not strong enough to hold the pressure.

I'll hazard a guess that some of the 6 hrs is for Health & Safety reasons (ensure adjacent parts have cooled) + dealership reclaims a fixed labour cost form BMW.

I looks like it'll do the intended job as a heat shield & at least it's a hidden eyesore.

Glad to here it, it really is a shoddy job though.

04S · 11-09-2014, 03:11 PM

They did that to mine as well, but, they also replaced the pipes and other parts too. Not just the foil ....

All covered by warranty

The finished job just looks like the finished product in recall pdf

DCT OFF · 11-09-2014, 05:33 PM

Had mine done Last week for free.

They get a max of 30 minutes to do mine. I'm pulling the engine cover, and will show him your pic while standing in front of the engine. I ordered the "little blankees" last Wednesday and they came in last Friday; we aren't waiting on parts... Frankly, he and I could do it in three minutes in the service drive. I'd do it myself if BMW would certify the recall was done. This is pure silliness...

I cannot believe that is the solution someone came up with at BMW. Maybe on an '85 Civic, but not a BMW. That is just absurd. At least it's covered up.

Who is your rep there? Last time I went there, the gave me the run around. I haven't been back since. Willing to give them another try since they are owned by penski now.

Well I didn't say 6 hours! I said my car was sitting there for 3 three days waiting for parts to arrive! in response to comment#47 that a member said "it took 6 hours..." I said "it took 6 hours to charge $900 BMWNA"
I really don't know how many hours it took, but I agree with you that it does not take that long. I believe they did some inspections before applying those heat guards!
