Hi All!

Can anyone tell me, what BMW is likley to want for another year of warranty on my 545 (UK)

My AUC warranty runs out in June and I have been quoted ?500 odd by Warranty Direct.

The Car will be 4 years old in October 2007. Mileage is 24K - Would you go for a BMW warranty (presumably at an extra premium) over the independant warranty?

Your advice would be appreciated

ps - the car doesnt do all that many miles - approx 8k per annum, although I am thinking of using it more.

Many thanks

BMW will want around ?950, I wouldn't touch it, warranty direct have a pretty good rep.

Thanks Kaf. I suppose I could then use a local specialist instead of the main stealer for service and save myself some extra!

Maybe a good plan.

We have anew one opened in Devizes, I might have to take a look at it next year when my warranty is up and service inclusive goes over the mileage.

Don`t do it, waste of money and you don`t use there warranty that much in a year.
I have learned how to change the oil myself now and the spark plugs. so that I save a few $$$
