Any Ideas on below

Post by mark hamster 28 » Tue May 26, 2015 6:58 pm

Just renewed my BMW warranty today. I've gone for the best option, Comprehensive with £250 excess and BMW emergency service. What is "warranty assist" which says no ? Being comprehensive you would of thought everything was included ?


Cover Details 
Level of Cover :  Comprehensive 
Policy Excess :  £250 
Emergency Service : Yes 
Warranty Assist : No

:cry1: £1163. Cos my car done over 60k, its 50% more but dont get me going again about this, as said before you would think BMW has more faith in there cars than 60k,,! But i think its still worth it as the smallest things can cost a fortune with these cars.! Now someone answer my question lol

Comprehensive means that most parts are covered by the warranty, except service items, I think there are three levels of cover Mark, with yours being top of the range, I've just had a re manufactured gearbox installed under a comprehensive warranty with only the excess of £250 to pay

Warranty assist I think should be included ?Just read BMW warranty cover website seems a bit vague

As far as I've always been aware, Warranty Assist is what you get if you DON'T take out BMW Emergency Services cover.

Warranty Assist just gets the car recovered as long as you break down more than a mile from your house whereas the Emergency Servics cover (which is a no brainer in my opinion given how great the service has always been for me), provides comprehensive "home start", recovery and loan car cover.

HTH :)
