I'm owner of an imported from Germany used E60. Model 520i. First Purchase date 17/9/03.
I own it about five months now. 39.000 Km on dashboard.
I'm satisfied untill now, no problems, but i need to know about the warranty coverage.
My questions are:
1) Is warranty unified in EU, or specific for each European country? (in Greece 2 years). I've heard that in Germany is 3 years. Which one covers my car?
2) Is it possible to extend the warranty coverage?
3) First month, when i bought the car, i had a damage of an ignition coil (1 of 6)
I went to BMW service, they change it, warranty coverage, OK. I've heard that there is a BMW service bulletin for all of 6 ignition coils to be changed. Is that true?
4) Door seals are squeaking, shift handle have lost the nickel surface and leatherette on shift base is distorted. Mp3 don't play well (speakers are screaming). Dealer said that the dvd drive (business nav) needs to be replaced. Does warranty covers that damages?
5) Business Nav 2004-2 dvd disk that came with my car don't have GR map on it.
Is there option for update (free or not) the Navigation DVD, to cover my country?
Apology about my english. Thank you very much.
