| I purchased a certified car from bmw on 11-17-06 with 49,761 miles. in addition i purchased the extended warranty on the vehicle for an additional 2 years or 50,000 miles for a total warranty of 6 years or 100,000 miles. at the time of delivery it was noted to the salesman that the front & rear window mouldings were deteriorating. he stated that when it came back for the oil service that it would be taken care of. well on both 3-17-07 as well as 7-14-07 when i brought the vehicle in for service i was denied because of out of warranty. the vehicle was built in 11-03, so it is not even 4 years old & experiencing deterioration issues on glass that could fall out and injure somebody. i feel that bmw should correct this issue & conduct an investigation on a failure of their parts. *tr | |||
