I understand that bmw will remedy the defect presently, however 10/7/09 I paid $271.78 and 7/28/10 I paid $294.25 for repairs to the identical problem. Will I be reimbursed for those repairs done at my local auto service company, since I was unaware and not informed by bmw that it was due to defective parts? I do have the bills for those repairs as proof of the work done to the specific parts recalled.
