BMW approved used warranty to start 1 month after purchase?

[GT TWO]

I took the car to BMW and apparently this is the case?

is this a new thing?

Cheers!

Not sure i understand what you are saying??

[Andyk]

So what you are saying is that you purchased the car from BMW and they have told you the warrenty will not start until a month after you picked it up........never heard that one before.

Unless there is still a month left on the old warrenty maybe!!!!!Strange one that.

Sorry guys.... thats exactly what I am saying.

Apparently you can not make a claim until 1 month after the purchase date.

I fail to see how this works? As an example... I spin a shell after 1 week of ownership?? what happens then?

I will have more details in the morning but a mate at BMW advised me of this this evening.

I will keep you posted.

Unless the bmw garage that sold the CSL to you dont get the claim
from bmw UK if it needs anything with in the first month.

I have never heard this before.

That just cannot be right... :smt017

This sounds about right, the selling dealer must have to take the responsibility in the first month?

The dealer is being very good and has said they will contact the supplying dealer.

What you sending it in for?

What you sending it in for?

The engine is occasionally hunting for the right tickover.

My old Z3 M Coupe did this and I think it was a potentiometer.

I have also asked them to check out the power steering as its fairly noisy on lock.

Hmm, the only 'one month' early item is that you can 'renew' one month early.

Sorry missed your call earlier dude.

No worries.

Maybe this is a new thing. I will have all info tomorrow so I will post any news.

I have definitely been told by a BMW employee that the warranty does not start until after 1 month of me taking ownership of the car.

Madness.

[Gastro]

This makes sense to me.
I made a claim on the warranty (just) within a month of ownership from a BMW dealer.

The bill came to £7k :clown:

There was a stand off between Sytner and the warranty company.
Eventually, the warranty company paid, although they said the same to me - ie within a month, it is back to the selling dealer to sort......

It presumably stops dealers spinning a car in need of work, pocketing profit and then leaving you high and dry to sort things out with the warranty company.

Apparently, its a legal agreement, so either way, you should be covered if something happens.

Mine has always been noisy on full lock when parking up, etc. No snags so far :whistle:

Mine Too! also the hunting on idle, is the aircon on? mine does hunt while the aircon is on but as soonas you switch it off it is fine.

Mines a little noisy on full lock too, right when you get on the stops as it were :119:

I'm not sure why this would apply to a car you bought from a dealer but it is common for aftermarket warrantys. In fact, its more like 3 months.

The idea is you don't buy a shed of a car, get a warranty and then keep claiming until its fixed.
