The car warranty that is offered by your BMW dealer can be one of the most attractive features of a new BMW. When shopping around, it’s important to understand the finer details of the warranty coverage that comes standard as well as any optional coverage that may be available. In this article, we will take a look at the warranty that comes with a new BMW.

What’s Included in the New Car Warranty at Your BMW Dealer?

BMW, like most car manufacturers, offers a basic warranty with all new car purchases. This New BMW Warranty is similar to most manufacturer warranties but is not broken into a bumper-to-bumper warranty and a powertrain warranty.

Along with this warranty, BMW offers an anti-corrosion warranty, a certified pre-owned warranty, and a no-cost scheduled maintenance plan. This warranty affords peace of mind that your new BMW will give you trouble-free performance for years to come.

The New BMW Warranty

The New BMW Warranty warranty is valid for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers all costs of repairing or replacing components that have malfunctioned due to defective parts or faulty workmanship. This warranty covers most components of the car including electrical components, infotainment center, and all mechanical components. Keep in mind that the purpose of this warranty is to cover components that should not fail during the warranty period.

The New BMW Warranty does not cover parts that wear out due to normal use. This includes parts like tires, spark plugs, oil filters, windshield wiper blades, light bulbs, and other components that need to be replaced from time to time due to normal usage. In addition, this warranty is transferable during the specified period.

The Certified Pre-Owned Warranty

All BMW vehicles that are classified as certified pre-owned come with an additional year of coverage no matter the mileage. Therefore, a certified pre-owned BMW will have 5 years of warranty coverage. This warranty is an extension of the warranty offered on new vehicles by BMW.

Additional Coverage

In addition to the standard manufacturer warranty, BMW offers some additional warranty coverage for new vehicles. The anti-corrosion warranty covers rust to the metal that occurs from the inside out. This warranty is valid for 12 years and has unlimited mileage. Corrosion that occurs due to improper maintenance or damage is excluded from coverage.

BMW also offers an 8-year 80,000-mile warranty on high-voltage lithium batteries that electric vehicles are equipped with. Finally, BMW offers an innovative program called BMW Ultimate Care at no additional cost. This program provides cost-free maintenance on all BMW vehicles for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles. Roadside assistance comes standard for 4 years, and extended warranty coverage and maintenance plans are available.
