BMW Warranty...piece of mind??

[moglie]

Hi all,

My quest for a csl continues. Ive come across a csl with 50,000miles+

Normally i wouldnt have been interested but the fact it comes with fully comp zero excess BMW warranty is appealing to me.

Just a quick question...would such a warranty provide you with complete piece of mind i.e. if i were to buy this car and stuff were to start to go wrong with it, would i be well covered by this warranty and would it also cover me for little foibles such as hesitant acceleration for talks sake, which bmw would check out and if needs be rectify under warranty?

In other words would such a bmw warranty offer me the piece of mind that if anything untoward where to happen the car mechanically it would be entirely covered by the warranty scheme and i would therefore have little to worry about, from buying such a car??

Please let me know your thoughts on this as soon as you can folks as im seriously considering going for this car... cheers all in advance! :thumbs:

The BMW warranty is by far the best out there
As with everything there are limitations, but it is very very good

Cool guys...so providing i can continue the bmw warranty cover on the car, would you guys consider that any potential risk of buying a car with those sort of miles has been almost removed?

Yep if you keep comp or named warranty and go to a decent dealer for warranty work you have a car that will be covered for nearly all conceivable mechanical faults in the future.

Personally, I'd say go for it.

One thing I will point out though, is that please bear in mind that the cost of warranty for cars with <60K is about £850 a year or something, but with >60K cars it increases, considerably. Glendog has accurate figures somewhere...I might try the search function myself here...or here even,

A final question will the zero excess comprehensive bmw warranty (which is on the car at the minute) exclude track use as i would obviously like to track the csl on the odd occassion :smokin:

Just tell them it happened when you were on the main road. Some dealers 'might' have issues if they found out you were 'tracking it' at the time the diff failed, for example. But if you get it home, call them and tell them it happened on your way home from work or whatever and you organised recovery yourself, then they shouldn't question it.

FYI I've had 2 new Diffs, a Vanos unit, a Gearbox, flywheel and a clutch all under warranty and I'm soon to be fishing for another new clutch.

Guy's a question.

Say a car has 58K on it now and the warranty expires in June, so at renewal time it has less than 60K but by August it has gone over the 60K, and warranty is being paid monthly.

Do Mondial need to be informed when the car ticks over to 60K or only when the warranty is renewed next June for it to still be valid?

Monthly payments are the way to go mate, that's all :whistle:

[Bounce]

your monthly payments will stay the same.but you cant cancel and start again.

[E30M3SE]

Thanks.:thumbs:

[shimmy]

Thanks.:thumbs:

The only downside to monthly payments is that your warranty for life will be limited to the price you paid for the car whereas annual warranty is the same limit per year.

Shouldn't be a problem unless you let Duncan drive it ...............:smokin:

The warranty works only in the UK or can be used in Europe?
If you have a problem in germany, can you go to a german dealer?:prayer:

[shimmy]

It generally says UK warranty, but don't know if that means UK only.

Worse case they recover to UK anyway.
