Hi, everyone new to the forum. In the market for an 2008 M or a GS. I saw one at a local dealership with water in the spare tire area. Will the dealer repair this issue? It's under factory warranty until Dec of this year. Also is their a vin tag on the trunk and on the front fenders? I saw one on the hood, all doors and frame. I know on the 2004 its behind the carpet is it the same on this model also? Unsure if the dealer will let me take the trunk carpet off, lol. Thanks!!
