Should this be covered?
Discussion
Put key into the Z4's lock the other day to close the roof. Pushed key in, and... the lock barrel pushed into the door by about 10mm. Where it now remains.
Took it to the local dealer who said it isn't covered by warranty and it had apparently be 'forced'.
What do fellow PH'ers think? I put the key in the lock with the normal amount of force - ie, barely any.

Obviously, thats possible....
But perhaps a more likely cause is that someone else, blessed with a somewhat scant regard for other peoples property, had forced the lock in the typical 'stealing a BMW' fashion and failed to gain entry.
Which given the car is a plaything which lives in a garage unless its sunny sounds like the sort of thing which occured before it was purchased as an AUC.But perhaps a more likely cause is that someone else, blessed with a somewhat scant regard for other peoples property, had forced the lock in the typical 'stealing a BMW' fashion and failed to gain entry.
I don't look forward to winning that argument though.
Firstly how old is your vehicle? Is it still within the manufacturers 3 year warranty, covered by the 1 year AUC warranty or by extended policy?
This makes a difference as the latter two don't necessarily cover as much as the manufacturers 3 year one.
You should have details on what is and isn't covered.
