Waranty or no warranty.

You just ring up BMw Mondial and choose the policy, excess and annual or monthly contract.

They leave it up to you to prove later that the cr is properly serviced and maintained so don't just presume just because they have accepted the money, you'll get a pay out!

Monthly of your car is below 60k miles means that I won't go up at 60k miles as the contract doesn't expire, whereas if you pay annually you have to renew every year.

HOWEVER policies are limited to the purchase price YOU paid (you will need proof if they ask at any time) therefore monthly policy means as contract doesn't expire you have lifetime limit to claims whereas annual policy you have ability to claim up to value of car every year, but no guarantee they will renew every year!

No inspection and you can't claim in first month of policy (but the day after is ok)

Is there a "Buy back in" charge or can you just start the monthly payments?

It costs a little more to renew a lapsed warranty.

Just less than 2 years, that's ok

I'd be more worried about how early that insp 2 was! It's normally about 40k + miles

I don't have a BMW warranty, for me, it's not worth it.
Few reasons, it's over 60K (63K to be exact), I do very limited mileage.

When I bought the car I paid for the engine to be pressure tested and also had it inpsected. I also don't rate the BMW dealers near me (infact their shite)and take the car to my local indie.
Ive decided to put £50 a month away and see how it goes.
So far Ive spent £166 on the throttle flap and are quids in , for now
Other things I've replaced have been W&T
