[Mark CSL]

Now thats not cheap it was £770 for the extended warranty this is not looking good :banghead:

[neil]

my renewal came last week and it was £772

no mention of the above

[Hypnotic]

Amended above ,as I'd only put on costs for 60k+ cars , now got the prices for all on there.It's actually come down to £690 with £250 xs or a straight forward £798 with no excess.

[Mark CSL]

Gary did bmw send you all the options above ?
for you to see what cover you wanted ?

[Hypnotic]

They sent out a letter with website and login details.They outlined the 3 levels of cover with quote. but tell you to logon to get precise quotation.
Here's the Warranty site with coice of levels :- http://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/Pages/Information.aspx?page=Products/Comparison.htm

I have contacted mondial-assistance...

may save £82 :-D

Full Comp / 250 Excess / Breakdown = £690 vs £772

Hi, my BMW insured warranty is due for renewal and I have had my renewal letter. My friend with the same car has had his renewal through but he got a login pin/password for a website to select options such as excess and level of cover. My letter does not give this information.

Any idea why?

Policy number: XXXXXXXXXXXX

Regards
Neil

[Mark CSL]

good but i would take the full warranty and no excess for me worth every penny.

What a new buyer will have to watch for now is minimum cover not the full bmw warranty when you buy second hand cars now worth a call to bmw warranty before you part with the cash.

yes, very tempting to just go for the cheap option at £396 just to keep the warranty going for resale

[neil]

result! they sent me a username and password and I can renew on the website.

Like for like saves me £82 - just by sending 1 email.

Now, which cover do I go for ?

I dont need breakdown as I have full euro cover anyway, so that saves me more!

Got 2 weeks to decide, will have to read what the cheaper warranties cover.

[Mark CSL]

Full Comp / 0 Excess / Breakdown = £951 this is the 1 i shall get
all you need is 2 claims in 1 year and you are quids in.

Also brake down any where in europe and they tow it in for free.
if they cant fixit they put you in a hire car and you go home.
they fix the car and deliver it to you.

WORTH THE EXTRA COST NOT TO HAVE THE EXCESS :smokin:

BMW Never told me about this when i renewed, will have to wait till next year now :banghead:

I agree if the CSL is a daily driver, but mine is rarely used, so have to rethink, as I said I have full euro cover anyway and if I breakdown its more than likely in my daily driver car.

I'm going to ask if you picked a lower category, could you upgrade it the year after to fully comp.

[neil]

i'd like to hear what people had had fixed under warranty - springs are a common one - i think only fully comp covers springs

[Mark CSL]

I have a list as long as your arm.

Gearbox / Clutch flywheel / Diff / Suspension arms / Alternator / Airbox flap motor / Steering wheel / Csl sill plate / Wing indicators / Window Regulator / Rear window / Front seat runner / Carbon door pannel / Wing mirrors / Battary / Power steering Pump and pipe / Hand brake lever / Back seat relese / CD player / Rear trailing arm bushes / 2 rear springs / center pipe exhaust /

There is more and this is only in the 10 months i have owned it
But i must say it is like new now

Thanks to BMW warranty WORTH EVERY PENNY :notworthy:

[Hypnotic]

Rear springs,rear diff,gearbox,Airbox petentiometer,Exhaust backbox.

[neil]

i mus'nt drive mine hard enough :bigcry:

[Mark CSL]

Well the warranty letter was on my matt at 10:00am, and the new warranty was paid in full by 10:15am, and my old warranty is not up till 31/08/08.
but i dont want to miss out.

I went for the Full Comp / 0 Excess / Breakdown = £951
Last year the warranty cost me £1,100 + £250 excess
I think it is a better deal this year :thumbs:

How may are not going to renew or have not got BMW warranty ???? :whistle:

[Mark CSL]

Well thats my warranty done its job
just got my CSL back and it is like NEW.

It is always best to buy a CSL with the BMW warranty

THANKS BMW :thumbs:

They gave me a mini Clubman Cooper S it was a fun little car
then they gave me a Z4 2.0 what a crap car i will never want to drive
another 1 :banghead:

[Andyk]

Yep my mate has just renewed his warrenty on his black CSL for £951, it does seem better value these days.......What was wrong Mark? Glad all sorted now.

[Bravo73]

I've just paid £757 for Fully Comp with £100 excess.

(The £0 excess option was £113 more. So if I make 1 warranty claim in the year, I'm 'up' slightly. If I need to make more than 1, it will start costing me a little more.)

I didn't bother getting the BMW Assistance thing. From reports over on MTorque, they are less than useless when you need help over in Europe. AA & ADAC (for Europe) will cover me (in any car, of course) just fine.

[Mark CSL]

Yep my mate has just renewed his warrenty on his black CSL for £951, it does seem better value these days.......What was wrong Mark? Glad all sorted now.

Just a few things
Parking sensor / gearbox as it had a wine in 4th gear / rear wheel bearing
/ 2 front struts / vanos unit / front window as the rain sensor was not working / but it is like new again :thumbs:

I would not like the bill if it was not under warranty

[Andyk]

:119: Yep warrenty good then...

[Mark CSL]

I think it is worth every penny but then i would say that :whistle:

[Gastro]

With regards to the BMW AUC warranty........

How far in advance do they send you a letter (ie when should I be thinking of chasing them to update ?).

Agree that AUC warranty is an essential addition to the cars integrity/peace of mind/resale value.

Mine isn't up for renewal til Feb/March 09.

[Mark CSL]

They sent me a letter a month before it was due

[Andyk]

I think it is worth every penny but then i would say that :whistle:

Yep it would seem so Mark.....If you do lots of miles and track days would imagine it's put to good use. Is there a track day clause in it or are you covered even if you track it.

[Mark CSL]

No there is a trackday clause ( Thats why i dont use my csl on track ) :whistle:
