If you own a near 3 year old M2 the warranty of which is about to expire, how much have you been quoted to keep it going through Mondial ?

I understand that you get a letter from them with an invitation to get a quote online and that it's quite a lot cheaper than to buy say a 4 year old M2 and then get a quote from Mondial.

Any truth in that ?

Thx.

Nick

That's the BMW Insured warranty, right?

You can get a quote online.
The prices are the same for every car, IE if I had an M2 and you had an M2 the prices would be the same. But it's banded on miles.
My first year with an M135i cost £350 with a £250 excess.
My second year, with a claim made, was £320 on my renewal , which I thought odd - so maybe they will give you a cheaper price if you sign up via their leter smile

However as my car was approaching 60k miles, I took it out on a pay monthly, as the premium stays the same irrespective of mileage at this point up until I believe 100k where you drop the comprehensive and it goes to named component?
Yes I have used the product itself in the past too but my question was around the premium differential between getting a quote on a car that has fallen out of the original warranty and getting a quote following the letter that owners of cars about to be over 3 years receive to continue the warranty uninterrupted. It seems significant, as confirmed by contractor. Which means that buying a 34 month old car may yield quite a saving compared to buying a 37 month old car if you intend to buy the Mondial/BMW cover and particularly if you lock the price by paying monthly.

Thanks guys, really helpful stuff. For clarity, if a BMW dealer sells an approved M2, it will then qualify for the lower rate through a invitation to extend the AUC warranty before the end of the AUC warranty ? Would that still apply if the dealer has restarted cover because he bought a car with an elapsed orignal warranty that wasn't extended ?
I am slitting hair here and it's perhaps difficult to know for sure.

I guess it would be a question worth asking.

I would also ask "Does the price premium you get from buying from a dealer vs a private sale, offset the cost of the extra price of the warranty for the first year (Presuming second year it drops, as per mine I had a 10% reduction from the first year paid upfront).
It still has little to do with private vs dealer but with interrupted vs non interrupted.

Your cost difference is likely to be due to an underwriting correction based on claim experience.

You're not understanding smile

I'm saying that if a BMW M2 from a dealer costs say £32k , and your private purchase costs say £28k, are you going to be better off having bought it from BMW and then subsequently getting savings on the warranty?

I would think it's cheaper to buy an M2 privately and then just buy the warranty irrespective of the cost.
Hiya Captain Obvious. wink
I am totally understanding that but that's not what I am asking as I am assessing the delta between interrupted vs uninterrupted (again) irrespective of whether I buy AUC or private. I may well want to buy private and uninterrupted.

Are you chopping in the new Renault?
Yes and that's the problem. Way too early and part ex offers understandably low. Might have to wait a bit or sell privately.

M2 Competition coming up for 3 years old very soon and have received the extended warranty offer from BMW.

£3500 for 2 years!!!!

More than any Supercar ive owned for a 2 series beemer!
I am baffled by this. The official BMW warranty though Mondial/Allianz/AWP is sold yearly. Is this direct with them on https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/?
Or through a dealer? It might be another product.

If I login on mine, which is due early March, the price of the renewal is the same as last year, ie £995 fully comp / £100 excess / no assistance. And I can't buy 2 years, just the next 12 months.

I also understand from another PHer that the price is the same irrespective of what M car you have.
