FRM Warranty Experiences

FRM Warranty Experiences
I have a R56S with a manufacture date of 03/2011 and was told by the dealership that I was only covered for 8 years instead of the recently further extended 10 years. I did find a copy of the service bulletin online, notifying of the extension in August of 2018.
The one thing I noticed on it is a typo where the R56S Hardtop models with the N18 engine are listed as
"R56 (Cooper S Clubman) (N18 Engine) Model Years 2011 to 2013 produced from 7/23/2010 to 11/19/2013"
and even the JCW is "R56 (Cooper S Clubman JCW including GP) (N18 Engine) Model Years 2013 produced from 7/19/2012 to 11/21/2013"
Which you may notice it says R56 Clubman... the full range of the Clubman is listed correctly under R55, but the Hardtop is mislabeled.
So I was wondering if any other R56S N18 Hardtops had issues with Warranty coverage, I understand that this only would have been relevant for the last 6 months or so.
I was also wondering if there was anyone else that was denied their claim for any reason for this issue.

Just as an amendment to this. I spoke with my dealership and was told that they were enforcing the 8 years that they saw when they looked up my car. So if you are having any FRM issues, I hope your car is newer than 8 years, because I couldn't tell you what the difference is between the 8 year extended warranty on it and the additional 2 years they added onto it.
I don't know how many people were even notified about this, as I am not sure I received a notice for the original 8 year. I know I never got anything for the extended warranty on the Turbo.

I didn't know what it was until a week ago when it failed on me.

That’s really a bunch of BS! I have the letter, it says the warranty was extended to ten years from the in service date, or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
If I was you, I would contact MINIUSA and complain to a rep there. My guess is they will have you at the dealership getting it replaced right quick!
