BMW extended warranty query

[pattyg]

I took this last December for 12 months after receiving a letter following the expiry of my BMW AUC warranty.

Thing is I've not received an invitation to renew this year. Does anyone know if you pay by CC do the payments and warranty continue until you notify Mondial or will they stop? If this is the case why do I not get an invitation to renew?

I will call them to query tomorrow anyway.

Thanks

Mine is on a direct debit and I never hear from them but have had two claims which have gone through no problem. Not sure if that answers your q?

Phone them up. Have you moved?

You should have received a renewal reminder by now, but you can simply go to the BMW Insured Warranty website to renew your policy. You can even see the options for reducing/increasing cover/excess/breakdown - or change it to monthly (higher cost, but you can cancel at any time).

1. Enter you registration number.
2. Enter your surname in lowercase letters, and don't use any non-alphabetic characters (e.g. if your surname has a hyphen such as 'Smith-Jones', then just type is as 'smithjones')
3. Enter the last 7 digits of your VIN as the PIN (e.g. XX12345)

Sod it, gonna gamble with not renewing.

The thing I have against it is that your car must be serviced by BMW. Mine had a Service Pack so it always went to BMW but now that its expired I am not taking it there twice a year to be bent over. Not worth it for a 6 year old car.

How long now before ECU, DSC or total instrument failure?

If you don't renew now and decide to do it later they charge you more for the privelige.If the car has less than 60k on the clock and you pay by direct debit the the cost stays the same.If its the cost of servicing that is an issue then supplying your own oil and parts and getting a better labour rate from them in exchange for not using another dealer works well.
Really depends on what the car will be used for i.e. road only a bit of trek use or uk use only or the odd trip to europe as then the cover is worth its weight in gold.I have a friend who owns a bmw service and sales centre so have all wear and tear items done there and oil services and belt changes done by a main dealer and supply the oil,but i do go into europe and do a little track work and if i was only doing road miles i would maybe think twice about the warranty on my diesel but not the m3.
