    It's a shame Bealo's Cecil ended up being on the V car register :banghead: probably Cat D. It was a very clean example up until Shimmy SOLD it on his behalf.

      just to note any potential buyer interested in the sg one on pistonheads. don't be put off by people saying 'incomplete service history' it's only an issue IF you want a bmw warranty. if say its not been serviced for 2 years and 3 months does'nt mean its a bad car. as with that low milage tbo it may not need one (although its nice for peace of mind). seems a fair few cars one here get slated for 'incomplete service history'. :thumbs:

        Only because a few cars on here have had new engines at £15k+ and anybody wishing to get warranty would not get it on a car with an incomplete service history.It probably is a very good car

          It's just about the warranty. Seeing how many cars get slated for not having it, makes me want one more.

          I feel a poll brewing ..... How many owners have the warranty?

            tbo tho if your buying a csl under 50k miles you'd be stupid not to take a warranty out as it works out around £980 ish a year. which is fuck all as it would soon pay for itself. but if like me your in the over 60k plus club it jumps up to around £2000 a year for a warranty and for me (in the motor trade) its just not worth it.

            edit-
            in answer to your question as to how many on here have warranty's i'd guess at well over half.

              For anyone over 60k miles like myself,I would suggest the named component cover,which I think is £1200 with Emergancy breakdown.it still covers you for most of the expensive bits,just not so much on brake bits and suspension,but still covers you for the amount you paid for the car.I have had my money's worth this year with a new Smg pump,which I think would have been around £2000 and new clutch and fly wheel last time at £1600.So I will be renewing for as many years as I can.Even if I don't make a claim my mind is at rest.

                How did you manage to claim for a new clutch, is that not classed as normal wear?

                  No,it was slurring and when they took the clutch plate out I was told it would have been good for another 60k miles,so new plate and flywheel under warranty,it's now pulling like a train(well done Gareth):thumbs:

                      the age of the car has no effect on its ability to have a warranty (you are mixing it up with the suposed end of goodwill for subframe repairs at 10 years)

                        Long live the BMW warranty. Most of the non-BMW warranties I looked into paid nothing after 10 years.
