BobA Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 My G31 is an April 2018 build and it’ll soon be its 6th birthday. I’m planning on keeping it though as it’s low mileage and everything I need in a car so I’m starting to think about a warranty. I’ll consider the BMW offering as I doubt if there’s anything better but I’m expecting it to be pricey and I might end up going 3rd party. Anyone here with a warranty? Any recommendations one way or the other? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam2594 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Always tend to stick with the BMW warranty. It's pricer than most offerings, however BMW do the work, it's done properly & their warranty covers a lot when you opt for comprehensive cover. Worth it in my opinion.

E39mad Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 It's a difficult dilemma. I didn't run a warranty on the F11 520d for 7 years (car was 10 years old when sold) and the cost of running it over and above std servicing was less than £200 a year but my G31 is a much more complicated car and when the AUC warranty expires next October I will consider a BMW warranty. I believe you can get an online quote from the BMW website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I have mine covered by BMW warranty; comprehensive with roadside assistance and £250 excess - costs £678 per year and hasn't gone up for the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobA Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 My quote (2019 reg G31 530D xDrive) comes in at £953 for the same cover, quite a bit higher. Are diesels really so much less reliable? Still not as expensive as I thought it might be but £250 is a large excess (on top of any investigation).

Liam2594 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Is it over 60,000 miles? Over 60k and they jump up a fair bit on cost. Edited December 8, 2023 by Liam2594 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam2594 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 That does sound quite expensive in that case especially with a £250 excess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I had a look online for my 2017 520d on 44k miles, over £1200 with £100 excess or £953 with £250 excess. A bit too steep for me at present. Edited December 10, 2023 by ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
