What level is your BMW Insured Warranty & Excess?

[cslgirl]

£1200!! Will you be renewing it mate, I know you've said your car has had a lot done under warranty in the past but have you needed anything since owning it?



How long have you had yours then and how many miles do you do in it a year?



What's em service? The Emergenyc Breakdown?



Sorry I didn't think to put one up for none! lol

My car has had a Xenon Control unit (I think, that might have been my old M3 :bigcry but it did have a Diff replaced at 30k miles (11k ago now) I don't know whether or not that would have been done under warranty!?

When you say 'goodwill' is that free or you give them a 'drink' towards it?

I gave the M guy a drink when he fitted my exhaust but for anything else, which hasn't been much, BMW did it for free as we have the back up of fsbmwh. Also low mileage. The car hasn't missed a beat and is the most reliable car I have owned - hope I haven't jinxed things now lol !

I have Comprehensive + European Assistance with £100 excess.

I had no claims during my first year of ownership, and around £700 worth of claims so far in this second year. I have also driven to Europe many times over those two years so European breakdown cover is a must for me.

Previous to my ownership the car had around £20k of warranty work completed since new! I think the previous owner had a 'mate' in BMW and had many things done that probably did not warrant being done ordinarily... :shock:

Still undecided whether to renew later this year or not as the car will be at the dreaded 60k miles mark :banghead:

My car has only got 41k on the clock and also has FBMWSH :thumbs:

Rob, I was reading up on the European Emergency service last night and in their terms & conditions it says about not being involved with Track Days etc, how do you get on at the ring or do you also have seperate cover elsewhere (RAC or ADAC etc)?

No warranty for 3 years

first two I had a new clutch, flywheel and gearbox on BMW goodwill. I paid 50% of labour but got a 2 year warranty with the work.

More recently had the headgasket go but Simpsons did that as the car was there already.

If I would have had a warranty I would be slightly better off I think. I might look at the 60k mile plus warranty but I am not sure of the details.

who do you call to organise this? I had a 1 year warranty (3rd party) thrown in on my CSL nearly a year ago when I bought it, so will be investigating the various options soon.

Go to the BMW website and you can navigate to the warranty section somewhere. Might be under BMW Owners I think. You can call them or just do it online.

The BMW warranty is a must in my opinion,over the last 2 years in my stock M3,i had a new alternator,new rear spings,new front calipers,new front discs[twice],new brake hose,new thermostat,new drive logic button for the smg,one of the xenon lights fixed,seat runner fixed,wish bone and lower ball joint,all done under warranty the car was on 20k-50k miles in this time.

Bloody hell mate!

I only had my old M3 about 10 months but in that time I replaced pads & wear sensor (Consumables), Starter Motor, NSF Wishbone & NSF Suspension eye, I thought quite a lot for the time I owned it!?

Even if i had no claims in that time,i would still get a warranty,just for peace of mind.

[Dan_csl]

Well I still can't decide which one, anyone have Comp with a £250 Excess or would it be better to have a Named Component one and have a £100 excess?

[DuncanR]

Collected mine from Murketts yesterday, cheers to Andy, top bloke. New head gasket cost me £41, as I had him do the SMG update whilst it was there, mine had the oldest one on !
Had some fun bedding the brakes in down the A1 !:hahaha:
Bumped into Spokey while i was there too.
Highly recommend Murketts if they are close to you, but probably even worth the long drive depending upon the ...uh ... upgrades to your car :whistle:

[Dan_csl]

I'll be using Murketts I think Dunc as per s.mac's thread

Still undecided on level of warranty, I'm debating where or not fuel injectors, suspension, air con system, on board computer, parking sensors, dashboard displays etc etc really need covering?
