How long is the warranty period for BMW cars?
2 Answers
BMW cars have a warranty period of 3 years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. The models under BMW include: BMW 5 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW X1, BMW X5, BMW X3, etc. Taking the BMW 5 Series as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, and a wheelbase of 3105mm. The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 135kW, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 290Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a BMW for three to four years now. I remember the new car warranty is standard for 3 years with unlimited mileage, covering core components like the engine, transmission, and chassis. The dealer emphasized that any manufacturing defects would be repaired for free during this period, which was quite reassuring. If you drive a lot with high mileage, don't worry about exceeding limits; for city commuting, 3 years is usually sufficient. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the user manual right after picking up the car and doing regular maintenance to keep the warranty valid. The warranty can be extended to 5 years by paying a bit extra, which is worth it. BMW's quality is generally reliable, but if you encounter minor issues during the warranty period, head straight to the 4S store to save time and effort. Overall, it feels very worthwhile, especially compared to other brands' limited mileage warranties. Remember to check the warranty card date to avoid missing out on opportunities.
