BMW Approved Used 2 Year Warranty

Casati

I see BMW have a 2 year approved used warranty now on secondhand cars- looks like a good security blanket as this warranty is one of the reasons people buy new- you can also buy two year service inclusive on second hand cars. I think you can also extend the warranty but it costs €1000 p.a. approx which seems like a lot.

Is any other manufacturer offering such warranty, I think the longest I've seen is 1 year? I know you can buy an aftermarket warranty, but its a lot easier handing the car to the garage for warranty rather than chasing an insurance company with a bill you've had to fork out for.

Its a great idea from BMW but I think they were forced into it. Alot of people afraid of the possible repair bills on modern bmws for problems that crop up far too often.

I bought my BMW last year from a main dealer with the 2 yr warranty and its proving to be a lifesaver!!Ive started to have problems in the last 2 wks which would have been expensive repairs.Plus they gave me a brand new 3 series as a replacement:)

yep, being going on for the last year or so!
excellent to get especially if your buying something nice like a 335/535/M3/M5 etc as the extended warranties on these are expensive.
