BMW warranty

I'm not sure what the warranty covers these days but if it's like is was before they stopped allowing me to renew it then I would. The warranty I had covered everything apart from wear and tear items so if anything at all needed doing then it got done. It also depends what it costs now, I think i used to pay around £650 a year which had all the road side assistance too so if you were stuck with a puncture and no spare they would come and look after you.
Yes its the comprehensive one which covers just about everything apart from wear and tear service items. It's about £70/mth including roadside recovery so will probably go for it as an unforeseen repair could be very expensive. I'm not sure how many years you can keep extending it, the only restriction I could see was exceeding 100,000m?
Those were the day
The stealers recovery Bmw 5 series would come to your house for a breakdown or non start
Sign here, it wasn't broken sir, but who care's your covered with a warranty
I stopped that after they wanted silly money to cover the ///M
Would i be silly thinking on memory they wanted £1800 :-o :-o
No more warranty
I had the warranty for years, they would just replace parts, without question
no wonder the cost spiralled

Way back it was 60k no limit on age of car, but cars live longer nowadrian77 said:

That was either a very long time ago, or not the full coverboard said:
As they started to split the cost of cover into different amounts
As people had started to stop extending their warranty
Had my Z4 1yr tomoz,almost 12000 smiles later 
,i am doing my warranty today,cost £437,bmw Z4 3.0,just under 60,000 on clock,with this warranty they cover cars up to 100,000,after that forget it.
But as i am touring abroad this year the overall cover is worth it just for the piece of mind in the event of accident,punctures(no spare wheel),and if you offset the cost of buying extra european breakdown cover,min £60- then to me its well worth it.

Please note - other Warranty Companies are available
IIRC you had to have your car serviced by a BMW dealer, to maintain the warranty?
Like any insurance policy, if you make a claim you win - if you don't need to claim you lose
However, it is peace-of-mind, if an M engine goes, it is several thousand pounds to replace

Warranty is great for a daily used car
No good for one that sits in the garage a lot
ie 2k max a year
I got my monies worth when i had warranties
on all the 3 series and the 1.9 Z3 we had

I agree with boysie.
If these cars are not used on a daily basis, why pay out for a warranty?
Most of the time its money for old rope.

About 8 - 10 years ago. BMW stopped the renewals so everyone was clambering for a different warranty supplier and the car club got a deal with one i think but can't remember who. I never paid over £800 and had everything covered with the guaranteed MOT passing etc. (obviously as long as it's not the wear and tear items failing it).Boysie said:
Sometimes not using a car also causes other problems so even though it might only do a few thousand a year I used to have it covered.
I have just renewed my BMW warranty on the M. £36 per month for engine and drivetrain only and a £250 excess.
Last year I paid £1200 all inclusive with no excess and cancelled it after 6 months.
The engine/ box is the thing I worry about most,
