Hey Everyone, literally just bought my first BMW today (2013 Z4 sdrive28i). The drive home was a blast and I had a smile plastered on my face the whole time....until I got home. Pulled in my garage and put the top up, only to find the passenger seat covered in hydraulic fluid. I can't tell exactly where its coming from, but look like it might be a burst line. Does anyone have any experience with this???? Any idea how much I'm looking at for repairs? I kept telling myself all the horror stories about BMWs aren't true and then this happens, I am praying its an easy fix and is just a one off issue.

Even if it's off factory warranty if you bought it from a dealer there should be a 30 day warranty.

Yeah, it has the 30 day warranty. I bought from a dealer (not a BMW dealer though), so now its with a BMW dealer and they are trying to diagnose it/determine if it was a pre-existing issue when I bought the car. I put the top up and down a half dozen times at the dealership and right after with no issues, it was just when I went to put it away for the night that I had the problem. Day 1 of BMW ownership spent at the dealership....
