I've put a claim in for my coupe for rust (she's an 06) and it looks to be going through the warranty however BMW do want to see your service book.
Hmmm service book, well my local bmw dealer recons it's had a fair few services.... But no book when I bought it.

It's at 95k now and when I bought it last November I took it straight to them they were surprised to see it so soon, they had only serviced it the week before.

I can only ask :|

I might just be as well to give it a good go with the rust killer as its only lite spots , funny thing is the paint doesn't look broken from the outside so I thought it was inside rusting through, hence why I was taking the panels off.

The rust warranty is only for rust coming through for obvious reasons. It's worth a shout anyway.
Past - Z4 Coupe, gone but not forgotten
