[IndyRed128i]

Hey all,

So long story short, about 8 months ago I purchased an auction 2016 228XI. When I purchased it, I was aware that it had some previous hail damage and body work, but was under the impression that my warranty would still cover anything not affected by this.

Yesterday, out of the blue, I get the message on idrive:
*Left rear turn signal malfunction
*Left reverse light malfunction
*Two stage brake light malfunction

Upon taking the vehicle in to BMW and having it taken apart, I am informed by my service advisor that because the car had previously been resprayed, and there was some bondo visible on the back side of the light that this would not be covered. At this point, they are saying that both the wire, and the entire lighting assembly need to be replaced.

I feel that this is unreasonable because there is no evidence that any go this body work caused the light to fail, and furthermore, it concerns me that they will try to deny further work for these reasons.

So at this point, my 3 options are:

1.Try taking the car to another dealership
2. Open an appeal with BMW Warranty
3. Suck it up and pay the money out of pocket(not sure what the total for this repair will be)

What do you guys think?
