Hi all,

My car will be coming up to 3 years old towards the end of the year. Does anyone know what sort of prices are available for extending the warranty please?

(haven't bothered in the past, but i'm keeping it until mid next year to wait for a 911 or new Cayman rather than change for yet another Z).

Biggest risk on my car (non turbo) is a roof malfunction I think.

Thanks in advance> :)

My renewal (twin turbo N54) is £270 for comp warranty without emergency services. Its £340 with emergency services. That's with £100 excess. Given the complexity of these cars, folding roof, turbos etc, I'll be renewing. When warranty prices go north of £500 I'll just bank the money in a just in case account.
 
Cheers. I tend to agree that 500 is a reasonable cut off. If the roof screwed that badly I'd get it up and latched somehow and trade in
:cry:

I'll give bmw a call to get some prices and get to work on 'em.

Thanks.
 
Well warranty direct will cover wear and tear to some level depending on the age....

Please see link for more information

But the wanted to charge me three times what I pay with Bmw (mondial now owned by a swiss company)

Obviously you pays your money and makes you choices.
 
I have the comprehensive bmw insured warranty for £360 with £100 excess. It costs around £80 more for the emergency breakdown cover, but when I rang them up to place the order, the lady said that even without the additional emergency cover (for £80), the comprehensive comes with roadside assistance and tow to garage anyway. You are basically paying £80 to have the facility to be towed home.

I've already had a new fuel pump which is was a £1300 job so it's more than paid for itself!

And the courtesy car of course...
 
I pay £45 a month, and that's with no excess and breakdown not included. That's with Mondial who produce the warranty on behalf of BMW
 
One of the reasons that I traded the zed in was the cost of warranty, and the fact that none of third party insurers I looked at didn't cover the roof mechanism as standards, which was the only thing I was worried about

That's a good point as if anything goes wrong in the future the roof mechanism will be high up the list :?

Bloody hell, how's a fuel pump £1300? Do they plate it in gold before they fit it??

I was interested in how much I'd gained from the warranty under this claim, most of the cost was in labour (they have to drain the fuel system etc, get to the tank, take it out). I think the pump was something like £370, then all the labour, then VAT.

It's actually booked in for Monday and Tuesday for the job, it took them a couple of weeks to get the pump from Germany.

All I'm paying is the £100 excess so I'm happy with that. I'd definitely continue with the warranty for the next few years, I get a car allowance at work so it's effectively free.
 
BMWs labour rates will vary from anything between £90 and £130 an hour or the higher rate if your near Park Lane :) so a days work will soon mount up.

I had new front discs, calipers, pads and sensors on the Z3 earlier in the year which came to £950 at BMW :o It was the labour costs that took most it up so any kind of warranty is a must on these cars I reckon.

Or just use Halfords :D

I doubt that disks and pads would be covered on a warranty - They certainly weren't on my D3
They generally cover themselves by phrases like "sudden failure"

Was just trying to highlight a warranty would be worth it alone to cover BMWs labour rates, the parts often aren't that expensive, it's the length of time needed to strip and fit.

We've just paid £439 for top level of BMW's warranty with European roadside/recovery.

Couldn't risk not getting it as there are a lot of expensive bits to go wrong.We never bothered with the S2000 as we figured it was pretty much bomb proof.
