How Long is BMW's Warranty Period?
2 Answers
BMW offers a warranty period of 2 years or 50,000 kilometers with a valid three-guarantee certificate. The vehicle repair warranty period is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Here is more information about the warranty: 1. Calculation of the warranty period: The warranty period starts from the date when the BMW authorized sales service center issues the vehicle purchase invoice to the first user and ends on the day the warranty period expires. 2. High-voltage battery: From the sales date (based on the vehicle sales invoice date), BMW provides an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery. 3. Plug-in hybrid vehicles enjoy an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery.
When buying a BMW, I asked about the warranty period, which is generally four years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This is very important for new car owners because the first few years are the most prone to electronic failures or engine problems, which can be repaired for free. I know BMW also offers extended warranties, where you can pay extra to extend the coverage for a few more years, providing more comprehensive protection. Don't forget that the warranty only covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear and tear like tires and brakes, so regular maintenance is essential. My friend's car had an air conditioning failure after the warranty expired, costing over 20,000 yuan—a painful lesson. It's recommended that owners conduct regular checks, take advantage of the official maintenance plan, and keep complete records. This makes replacing parts easier if needed. Policies may vary by region, but they are generally consistent within the country.
