BMW Warranty (Mondial) ongoing

[billyboysm3]

it will also add probably 2k to the price of your car with the miles you have on her (if you ever sold it)!

I pay £56 per month for the comp' cover with £250 excess - on direct debit

[Marchino]

FYI I just purchased a Named Component Cover BMW Mondial cover for my 46k csl and I paid £85 a month with £100 excess.

However the warranty excludes cover for any modifications, in my case brakes, suspensions and exhaust.
Is it normal?
They also told me that some BMW dealers could make some problems in repairing under the cover with a car with such mods.....it is their discretion..

Have you ever heard problems of this sort before?

Gareth. What about cars with a cage?:whistle:

My thinking at the minute is fuck the warranty as it will save me approx £1600-1700 a year when you take into consideration the BMW service costs.
Servicing myself costs fuck all.

If there is the slightest chance a claim will get knocked back with warranty then ill not renew.

I only need the engine, box and diff covered.

But........A. I have a spare diff sat here
B. I have a spare gearbox sat here
C. Ill just get the engine built to 400bhp if it pops. (might just do this as a precaution anyway:finga

What you guys reckon.

[shane@mbtech]

fantastic

great info, ill add it to the Mondial thread and try to make it a sticky

Shimmy, this is what we have said all along. :thumbs:

The 10 day thing just means the warranty does not stop then take 1 month for cover to then re-start.

The savvy out there would not get warranty at all, and only get it if they had an issue. 1 month later all sorted:smokin:

Ill feel left out of the elms love though.

Im sorry get warranty and bring to me then :hahaha: do you feel better now :gayfight:

[Marchino]

I agree with Shimmy about the cheating thing..... although I would be very pissed if they wouldn't pay an engine or box failure blaming the mods.....that would make me very pissed.:banghead:

Ultimately I pay a premium and I maintain the car at the highest level ( I do my part) and I expect the insurance to do their part in case something goes wrong.


Anyway i am happy to see that at least at Elms they are serious.....i am not sure other BMW dealer is London where i live would be so proffessional.....:wanker:
