Warranty Renewal Y/N?

[Pip1968]

It is coming to that time of year again. I am just wondering what everyone else has done with regards to the Mondial warranty. I am at around 40,000 miles with only one claim in the seven or so years of ownership - rear springs.

I suppose at least I do not have to use a dealership for servicing anymore due to the change in wording/terms. So do I renew? Is it from 40,000 miles/10 years onward that things start breaking or wearing out - ????

I suppose it could be a selling point if I were to.

It will be particularly interesting to hear from others with similar mileage.

Yes - renew. If not, at least have a compression test done.

How easy is it to get a compression test done?

Just got a quote for fully comp with 100 excess,they don't do zero excess now for new customers.
Price without bmw assist was about £1200 for the year.
How much would this go down for the second year?

It's not a big job... and for peace of mind... probably worth having done at each service imho

Hey mate, I got a compression test on my csl before sending it to the uk to sell. The running in service was a bit late so I wanted to have peace of mind that the engine was healthy. Main dealer job, takes about two hours I think. Gives you a small print out for with a bar chart for each cylinder. Expensive enough tbh, 200 euro if I remember correctly. Indy might be able to do it also and cheaper

Fair one Mark but presumably there are quite a few here who do not have a warranty. Trouble is you only really hear the horror stories and what about after 60,000 - ?
