Warranty or not?

bryce · 12-02-2009, 10:35 PM

Mine is due for renewal at start of march. Cant decide what to do.

My car is pretty much sorted, been in for every little thing since I got it, and I cant see what else would need doing?

BUT

Im gonna be tracking this summer, and tripping to Ring so peace of mind would be good.

Who has? Who hasnt?
Why? Why not?

If I went just driveline (engine / gearbox) it'd save a substantial amount but safeguards the expensive stuff.

I don't have a warranty, it ran out over 2 years ago.

Anything it has ever needed doing (which hasn't been a lot) out of warranty has been done on goodwill by BMW

as my mileage isn't that high. Being my first BMW I have been really pleased with my dealer and how helpful they have been.

Don't have one..only do 5k a year and 1 or 2 track days a year.....if you rant the hell out of it through the year on track or do high miles then I would def have one.

Mark may have only done 200 miles but most were done grabbing the CSL by the bollocks on the track I would have thought.
