[ham]

Hi,
I'm a complete newbie to BMW, I have to admit to being a Caterham nutter and my tintop is a 2.0 litre Golf TDI. I suppose my only connection to BMW is that Caterham for some years have been having lots of problems with the Sierra diffs the've been using being very clunky and noisy. So after so many people complaining the've changed to BMW diff, props and half shafts. I upgraded mine late last year and the change is amazing, the car is completely different and a pleasure to drive now, I don't know what model BMW the transmission came from.
Anyhow back to BMW, the Duchess and I were out shopping yesterday and one of the local garages were displaying some BMW models in the centre and amongst them was the 320D which I took a fancy to straight away. I'm not sure which model it was but I gather the basic price was about £29000 but the with extras it had it would come out at about £32000. SWMBO said after we got home I bet they cost a fortune to service, which got me thinking, do BMW do a service package and what is the warranty on them. I know when I bought the Golf I got a three year service plan thrown in as part of the deal.
Thanks for any thoughts and information on this.

3year unlimited mileage warranty includes Emergency service, 12 years corrosion/perforation warranty and iirc 6 years paint warranty.
5years/60k service plans are available from £300 depending on the model.
