[quote name='nicke60gre' date='Aug 29 2005, 01:52 AM']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.

NOW TAKE A LOOK AT E60 GREECE

Nice car and very nice pics.
I just love when the pics have a beautiful backgroud as well.

Try to answer some of your questions:
1) The EU warranty is two years and it is good in all EU countries. (You have about two weeks to get your car fixed!)

2) No you cannot.

3) I have not heard of this.
But anything a authorized BMW Service company does has a warranty for both the job and parts.
So if you had any problems with the other 5 coils, they should have noticed that.

4) About the doors seals you can read lots of within this site. Do some surfing!
"...shift handle have lost the nickel surface and leatherette on shift base is distorted"
This sounds mysterious. I would not take this, have them replaced!!!
The MP3 and the Nav. DVD is under warranty if original options.

5) I'm pretty sure that you need to buy an fresher one.

PS. Do not worry about your English. I also just write what I can but most forum members understand what I mean, or...
