Do you think I could get the front engine splash guard fixed for free under warranty?
I bought a used M2C with around 16000 miles and it came with a pretty beat up splash guard under the bumper. The edges are basically hanging on for dear life and are shredded up. I was trying to buy a new one from an online BMW parts retailer but they cancelled on me because apparently the part is too big to ship. I was wondering what are my chances of getting a new splash shield installed for free through my new car warranty? I feel like it's pretty low because it might just be "normal wear and tear"
Let me know |

Depends on the dealer really. Some have a good standard for the cars they sell and will do a goodwill fix if needed. Doesn't hurt to try

The only way that the corners are hanging down is if it was reinstalled incorrectly or there’s more damage than you realize which I think it’s probably the first of the two

Turns out the corners weren’t hanging, it just looked like it because there are raised edges on the corners to protect the radiators in front of the wheel well

Well, the back of the middle part is pretty torn up so I still want to get that addressed

I can install that thing in my sleep, but I’ve done it more than a few times I’d buy a new one… make sure that you have all the screws that you need to reattach it There are two sunken holes one on each side, you’ll need two bolts to install in those if they’re missing No, I would not ask them to replace it under warranty unless you bought it from them like that

I understand that did you buy it from a BMW dealership if you did you might be able to get them to Goodwill it

It’s definitely worth a shot. Talk to your service advisor in person about the possibility
