Yep, it's not warranty, it's "good will", they offer it at their discretion for cases like this that slip through a usual warranty period, but clearly are a design f-up- Goodwill is up to a max of 10 years - so its over.

This means all boot floor repairs from now on are paid for by the owner. This means that a car that has had the repair done properly, VS one that is cracked and still needs repairing, possibly has a perceived value of 5-7k higher (what it would cost to walk in to BMW and get the repair done).

As said, I doubt a 15,000 mile queenie will have a cracked floor, so a potential new owner just has to decide if they want to wait for it to crack, or do preventative maintenance. If its going too be a garage queen, i'd do nothing, and sleep easy knowing there is an unmolested corrosion free virgin in the garage (!).
