Approved warranty

[Dexter]

So almost a year as a Z4 owner and I can renew the approved BMW warranty, been quoted £537 with no excess to pay or £380 with £100 per claim.
What do people think, should I just take my chance and save my money for now. Just had inspection 2 with no extra work required. Is it worth it??? :wink:

I just had nearly 6ks worth of work done, cost me £100

bargain, and the difference in price seems well worth the potential saving, go with the excess, I did

How old is your zed and whats the mileage?

Some will say bank the money you would have spent on a warranty and take a chance as the zeds are pretty bullet proof, others prefer to pay for a warranty just so that they can have peace of mind

Your choice really, or as Dirty Harry would say, "You feel lucky, punk" :wink:

Know your right really thanks willgill I've already had a new roof, wiper motor and air bag sensor, no brainer really but respect owners opinion on here

I pay £35 a month for mine with £100 excess. Well worth it in my opinion

Sorry Swiftly, 2005 and 40,000 miles just wonder when the "wear and tear" answer will kick in :wink:

What was replaced for 6k?

abs/dsc pump and logic boards, car ECU, engine wiring loom (after electrical fire) and various assorted sensors which also blew up.

This would have been covered under insurance I would have thought if you had no warranty though.

BMW sent me a loan car on the side of the m6 toll road, took mine away to the dealer and i picked it back up two weeks later fixed
