Bmw extended warranty

Not my understanding regarding Roof Mechanism as it’s a “factory fitted mechanical and electrical component” and under comprehensive cover it is included. Comprehensive Component Cover is defined as follows:

“The maximum total claims liability covered by the BMW Insured Warranty Comprehensive Component Cover is the purchase price paid for the insured vehicle, inclusive of VAT. Your Comprehensive Component Cover covers all factory fitted mechanical and electrical components of the insured vehicle with the exception of the following.

Battery, BMW i3 and BMW i8 high voltage and auxiliary batteries, external connectivity charging cables, external recharging station, all exhaust components (except catalytic converter), brake and clutch facings, discs and drums, bulbs and fuses, channels and guides, weather strips and seals, handles, hinges and check straps, trim, upholstery and cosmetics finishes, bodywork, paintwork, wheels and tyres, wiper blades and arms, glass, auxiliary drive belts, coolant and fuel hoses, the cleaning or adjustment of any component, and all service items which will require periodic replacement.”

Pretty sure Roof and Mechanism would be specifically listed if not covered?
 
I've been reading more about this, and it looks like the hood could be covered e.g. failure of the electrics or mechanical movement. But I've found one claim being turned down due to the hood failure being a knock-on effect of blocked drainage channels which isn't covered under warranty. This was a few years ago though.

This has been an eye-opening thread. I had looked at a third party warranty but was quoted £2200 for 3 years which seemed expensive. Given what I've read here I just got a quote for the BMW warranty and for my car it's £452 per year with a £250 excess. That looks like a no brainer for peace of mind. However I did notice that the roof mechanism isn't covered.

Roof mechanism is covered.

Agree it’s all about peace of mind. I’m sure we can all afford a £400 repair, but suddenly getting a 2k repair will hurt. Imagine a 5k repair on a gear box, although the gearbox is pretty bullet proof.
 
I’ve hid the BMW insured warranty an the £440 is about correct - but that doesn’t Include the first £250 of the claim!

I’ve just renewed my BMW comprehensive warranty and include comprehensive European Breakdown at a cost of £440 till June 2024. I simply view it as an insurance policy that will cover the unexpected. Gives me peace of mind and allows me to enjoy my Euro Tours more (Pyrenees trip for the Tour de France coming up early July :)) plus, it’s transferable to a new owner if I decide it’s time for a change (can’t think why I would though) so attractive for any potential buyers. Hopefully I’ll never need to use it but who knows!

Is that with BMW direct?
How did you get it at that cost? I got quoted over 700 :?

From memory, it’s £700 it there is no excess payment at a claim.

Hmm yeh now I’ve actually read page 2 of this thread I’ve had a play with the excesses.
Still £452 for mine (on 23500miles) with a £250 excess and no roadside assistance for the comprehensive cover :|

Did you guys go toe this bmw warranty website for quotes or direct to dealers?

I think there is a difference in price if you renew before yours expires or after.

Yes direct from BMW website. £440 for comprehensive cover (£250 excess) and full Euro breakdown cover. Exactly same as last year when I first took it out.
 
Mines gone down from last year. Was £613 with £100 excess and now it’s £440 with £100 excess . I actually rang them to make sure the cover and excess was the same and they assured me it was.
 
Just taken out the warranty on mine to follow on from manufacturers, it's always a thought provoking decision, should I buy the warranty or put some money away each month just in case. As warranties go this is a pretty good price and covers virtually everything, so I've gone with the comfort blanket with no worries. Claimed last year for my 35is front adaptive shock absorbers, found to be leaking on MOT. There was no hassle and dealer changed them the next day. So far my experience has been positive enough to convince me to purchase.
 
cheers everyone, took my extended warranty and the breakdown cover from Bmw today £522 with 100 excess.
 
Reviving the old thread now I’ve finally got round to trying to sort some things out!

So for anyone that has this insured warranty. How does it work to get things “checked”.

For example; when my car was in its first 3 years and all previous cars I’ve had under manufactures warranty; anything I was unhappy with I just popped down and booked it in without a worry in the world… is is the same?

But then if there is a part / work that is chargeable you then pay the excess?

I haven’t been offered a 0 excess option sadly,

Ive just paid for the Comprehensive on my 35is (The BMW Insured warranty)
£422 with £250 Excess and including Roadside Asssist.
 
Can the extended warranty options be paid monthly?

Would it be better to wait and see if there is a Black Friday deal? That’s when I bought the service inclusive.
Thanks

There is a monthly option but it costs more over 12months period.

I’ve never seen it on a deal.
