What is BMW's Warranty Period?

[MacGarrett]

BMW's warranty with a valid three-guarantee certificate is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The vehicle repair warranty period is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Paint quality guarantee period: 3 years (unlimited mileage) for new car paint warranty. New car body rust-through guarantee period: 12 years (unlimited mileage) for new car body rust-through warranty. Calculation of the warranty period: The warranty period starts from the date when the BMW authorized sales service center issues the purchase invoice to the first user and ends on the expiration date of the warranty period. High-voltage battery: From the date of sale (based on the vehicle sales invoice date), BMW provides an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery, whichever comes first. The BMW i8 has an 8-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery, whichever comes first. The new BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid has an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery, whichever comes first. The BMW X1 plug-in hybrid has an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for the high-voltage battery, whichever comes first.

I remember BMW's warranty is usually 4 years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, and this covers major components like the engine and transmission. I paid special attention to this when buying the car because BMWs are great to drive but repairs can be expensive, so having this warranty saves a lot of hassle. Some models even come with free maintenance plans, covering things like oil changes and filter replacements for the first few years, which is quite cost-effective. I recommend carefully reviewing the contract details when buying a car—don't just rely on the sales pitch, as warranty coverage sometimes has limitations, such as exclusions after accidents or modifications. If you frequently drive long distances and are likely to exceed the mileage limit, it's best to consider extended warranty options—spending a bit more for peace of mind.

I just bought a new BMW, and the warranty lasts for 4 years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This is super important for new drivers because you won’t have to cover repair costs if something goes wrong. BMW’s warranty covers basic components like the braking system and electronics, but not everyday wear and tear like tires. I recommend getting regular maintenance and keeping records, otherwise the warranty might become void. You can also purchase an extended warranty for extra coverage over a few more years, which is a safer bet, especially if you plan to keep the car long-term. Don’t forget to ask about free services when buying the car—some dealers offer complimentary first maintenance or inspections, which can save you some money.

BMW's warranty standard is 4 years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. I think this setup is reasonable as it both safeguards against initial issues with new cars and encourages timely maintenance. The warranty coverage includes core mechanical components, but consumables like wiper blades are not covered. Remember to follow the maintenance manual to avoid voiding the warranty due to neglect. Extended warranty is optional, allowing you to pay extra to extend coverage to 6 years, which is suitable for long-term users.
