Warranty Renewal Y/N?

[Pip1968]

It is coming to that time of year again. I am just wondering what everyone else has done with regards to the Mondial warranty. I am at around 40,000 miles with only one claim in the seven or so years of ownership - rear springs.

I suppose at least I do not have to use a dealership for servicing anymore due to the change in wording/terms. So do I renew? Is it from 40,000 miles/10 years onward that things start breaking or wearing out - ????

I suppose it could be a selling point if I were to.

It will be particularly interesting to hear from others with similar mileage.

Yes - renew. If not, at least have a compression test done.

phew, rear springs only, great result so far. TBH at the price you are paying id swap onto monthly this side of 60k and keep it going.

Going by Billy's engine replacement record, I was just wondering if it is worth it car has just done 21k, needs new front hub which Adem is fitting for me. Not sure what to do at the moment warranty wise it is monthly but is it worth it :whistle:

It's only worth it when it comes to make a claim or sell your beloved. :whistle:

Never took it out when the original warranty ran out and only think about it when I read threads on the subject.

To date only one broken spring in 56k. Fingers & toes still crossed.

There's a CSL currently @ Bartlett having thrown a crank during a trackday @ Oulton park. No warranty and a 10K bill in the pipeline.......Despite your reliability being A1 it must be worth going for renewal. £69 direct debit means peace of mind. Just my take on it....:smokin:

And consider it includes breakdown, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind if you're engine pops in the middle of the Alps on a euro jaunt.....better for resale also.

I've kept my warranty ongoing ;)

[cslgirl]

Never renewed mine since it ran out in 2006.

[73CSL]

what caused it to throw a crank ? ( big ends ? ) .. oil starvation ?

[LHutchin]

Yes - renew. If not, at least have a compression test done.

How easy is it to get a compression test done?

[monkeycsl]

Just got a quote for fully comp with 100 excess,they don't do zero excess now for new customers.
Price without bmw assist was about £1200 for the year.
How much would this go down for the second year?

But how long will they have to wait, just look at poor Billy still waiting :bigcry:

It's not a big job... and for peace of mind... probably worth having done at each service imho

Dan checked mine last week at Elms whilst it was there to get the oil service stamp......all ok

Hey mate, I got a compression test on my csl before sending it to the uk to sell. The running in service was a bit late so I wanted to have peace of mind that the engine was healthy. Main dealer job, takes about two hours I think. Gives you a small print out for with a bar chart for each cylinder. Expensive enough tbh, 200 euro if I remember correctly. Indy might be able to do it also and cheaper

I would never buy an M car with out warranty
Look at billy his car has been with bmw for over a year now look at what a hire car would have cost
never mind the 10k engine and its still to be fitted almost 20k warranty is a bargin :thumbs:


Hope you get it sorted soon billy :beer:

Fair one Mark but presumably there are quite a few here who do not have a warranty. Trouble is you only really hear the horror stories and what about after 60,000 - ?

He's a top man is Dan :smt023

Well I decided to not renew this time. As I see it I can always invoke the cover again at a later date should I wish to. I will attempt to save the premium (and not spend it on other motoring 'upgrades' - I hope :whistle:).

I also had a read through Deanobeano's similar post in April http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12016&highlight=M235 which has allayed my worries slightly.

Like Deanobeano, I too am only doing 2/3,000 miles each year so fingers crossed.

Thank you to all. :thumbs:
