I have 2005 BMW 525i and it has run about 30000 kilometres. The two year BMW warranty for the car will run out in about two months. I have had several problems with the car which were fixed by the dealer. The steering wheel was making noise, so I had the change the active steering module and some steering column parts. The have changed the rubber list on all doors, because the doors were making noise while driving. I was therefore wondering whether I should check my car for other problems before the warranty runs out.
Does anybody know about specific problems with this car make that I should check? Thanks in advance. Car specs: 2005 BMW 525i Production month: 10/2004 Engine: M54 |
Ouch, where are you to only get a 2 yr warranty?

Where are you ice from? The CIP is worth up update, not any problems on my car. |
It never ceases to amaze me how companies like BMW screw you to give as little as possible.
You get 2 years, UK gets 3, US I understand gets 4! It's just not fair. |
It really is amazing, mine is a 2005 525i with a build date of 09/2004 I have a 4 year Warranty along with 4 years of free maintainence or 50 K which ever comes first. How can BMW do that?????????? :think: that in each Country the warranty is different. :think: ????

So is the maintanence package.
Here in the UK 5 years maintanence and service costs over ?1,300 ($2500) |
It'ssimple:give the customer what your product needs to be competetive and either absorb the opportunity cost or ask the consumer to pay.
A 50,000 mile warranty in UK would not be perceived as competetive and some manufacturers are giving 5-year warranties. Market forces. ABC |
