Late run-in service and warranty

dmcCLS · 11-10-2010, 05:33 PM

What is the story with buying a CSL with a late run in service and no BMW warranty. Can you still go to BMW and take one out?

cheers

No, not unless you get clearance from BMWUK

I had a claim on my warranty and they wee aftr proof of all services and esp running in service

Mine had a late running in service, 2100 miles actually and none of my services have been questioned. I do however have a letter from BMW UK stating that they will warrant all claims, top folks.

It was the DP's car and for whatever reason he didn't bother handing the car in for the running service. choob

Thanks for the replies. Who do I contact at BMW regarding getting something in writing, my nearest dealer or BMW UK?

Don't really understand this. Mine has a current Comprehensive BMW Warranty in place yet the running in service was late (3289 miles) but surely by accepting a car for (AND taking the premium!) a Comprehensive Warranty BMW therefore to honour any claims arising for items covered by that policy?

I could see how they could argue not to accept a car on to the scheme but not the other way round?

Also, I've just got all the paperwork out and there are numerous sheets of printouts showing what work/replacements it's had done under warranty previously and all have been honoured it appears.

I doubt the warranty company knows the running service was this late,as they never ask,but if you have a big claim on engine they will ask and you could be in the shit.So you should really clear it with them.

Hmmm...Thanks. I take your point. I will do that tomorrow I think.

The only other thing my wife has just reminded me of was that she did ring BMW GB the day I bought it before I collected it to check on the warranty and verbally at least they stated it was all valid. Maybe I should just get further confirmation in writing?
