Non BMW Warranties?

Keyser Soze · 25-05-2009, 06:58 PM

Im looking to buy a CSL as my next car and wondered if anyone has experience of warranties other than BMW's own?

How much would it cost to add a BMW warranty to a car that doesnt have one as long as it has FBMWSH?

Cheers

Ben

I would always go for the BMW warranty.
To add it to a car its £1,100 i think or there abouts but you can't make a claim in the first month, or you have to pay the bill

Cheers. Thats not too bad. I had a feeling it was 2k for some reason.
Does it get any cheaper the second year?

Not sure but my renewal was £850 no excess

Just be aware that the BMW one almost doubles in cost when the car hits 60k miles - and doesn't cover quite as much

It has got a bit cheaper, you can decide how extensive you want the cover too. Aftermarket ones are generally cheaper because they cover less.

You can't go wrong with a BMW one. I've had all sorts done in the last couple of months including a new diff.

It's a great feeling, you just hand the keys over with a "fix it" and get a few grands work done and pick it up without paying a penny!

I bet it is, i've just re-started my BMW warranty, i just get the feeling that after the use mine gets something must be ready to be replaced lol

Avoid aftermaket warranties with companies such as WarrantyWise. I used them for my Maserati and was very unimpressed by them as I found they will 'Wangle' out of what is expected.
