**Mark CSL** · 21-01-2009, 09:56 PM

Hi they will not cover the upgrade parts
But cover all the rest

E46ACS · 21-01-2009, 10:11 PM

As Mark says. They will still provide warranty and all that it covers, they just won't cover any mods or non-BMW upgrades. eg brakes/exhaust/suspension.

And Welcome!!!!

Hi Jon,

You should be able to get BMW cover - and dont worry about your upgrades, as they're classed as 'wearing parts' so wouldnt be covered by any warranty anyway.

I renewed my lapsed BMW warranty today after some careful consideration - in part due to my recent alternator failure just outside the old warranty period!

I had to take a 'one-off' premium increase of almost £200 but with 4 trips to Europe planned this year as well as several UK track days, i feel the cover offers peace of mind with the additional benefit of European breakdown cover. Next year the premium falls in line with the usual rate.

Comprehensive cover, including breakdown, £100 excess: £1029

I now hope to renew again so long as my car is under the 60k miles limit, as that's when the prices almost double for less cover! After that i will lapse again. My car is currently at 49k miles.

Like Mark, i just need to submit a couple of claims to recoup my outlay before the cover lapses again!

GD, the 60K thing seems to have disappeared from the website. Is that definite? I had my fingers crossed that it was all the same to 100K!

bryce · 10-03-2009, 11:45 AM

Noticed that too Nords, there's no mention of it on the renewal letter I received. It reads as if its the same all the way too 100k.

I think it's still there.

Many many months ago I did the tests on the warranty website. I got quotes at mileages of 59,000 and 61,000 and there was a big difference IIRC. It was ages ago though - give it a go.

the thing seems to change monthly at the mo - best thing to do is ring them

Just renewed my warranty that i had stupidly allowed to expire.

I took Comprehensive cover inc Breakdown £0 excess £1179.

I thought it was wise with all the trackdays i do.

E46ACS · 13-05-2009, 11:29 AM

Since I took out my warranty (fully comp, £0xs) in Feb, I have had:

New seat frame
New O2 sensors
New Seat belt tensioner
New Diff

Worth every penny!
