Hi I have had BMW's for 7 years.
2 740 Sports, and now a 745LiAll my cars have been kept under BMW extended warranty, after the initial warranty expired.
Several months ago, I contacted the supplying dealer of my 745Li, and asked about extended warranties. They told me that I could purchase 3 years warranty for £1553, and I had until my 'standard' warranty expired to get it. My 'standard' / manufacturers warranty is due to expire in 4 months, and I contacted the dealer to take them up on their deal.
They now tell me that all BMW (in fact all manufacturers) warranties have been overhauled, and brought under the control of the FSA. As a result, 12 months warranty is quoted at £1536.... which is almost the price of 3 years previously!!!
This seems ridiculous to me!
Has anyone else had any experience with this? Are there any alternatives to a BMW UK warranty?
Cheers
