Does the BMW warranty only cover work done by BMW?

Last week I started having an issue with the front end of my car. Within 5 minutes of hearing it, I drove to my dealer to make an appt... they didn't have an opening for a week and a half. Now I'm going out of town for work, have to miss my appt., and not sure when I'm gonna be back to schedule a new appt. Luckily I didn't sell my old car yet, so I have a backup. But am I able to use a different mechanic if there is an emergency and my dealer is booked up?

No, but if it is an emergency the dealer has to take it. A week and a half later is pure BS.

That time frame should only be for scheduled maintenance not for immediate warranty issues.

In worse case they have to give you a service loaner until it is repaired.

They don’t “have” to take your car in and they don’t “have” to give you a loaner. Each dealership is independently owned and is allowed to operate with their own set of rules.

I would try and ask the dealer if they could squeeze you in, might have to leave the car there for a few days to get it done though.
