What does the BMW warranty not cover?

We love our old BMW but we’re thinking of getting a new X1. My wife says BMW has updated their warranty program since we last bought new. So what does the new BMW warranty not cover?

BMW did update their warranty program in 2017—more on that in a sec. But first, here’s what the BMW warranty does not cover:
  • Brake pads
  • Rotors or discs
  • Brake shoes and drums
  • Spark plugs
  • Wiper blades
  • Blade assemblies and beams
  • Filters
Under today’s plan, the powertrain warranty is folded into the factory warranty in what the company calls a comprehensive warranty. It still provides industry-leading coverage, but like many other car warranties, it will not pay for the replacement of parts with normal wear on your new
X1
.
While the listed parts aren’t covered by your comprehensive warranty, their replacement might be included in the three-year/36,000-mile complimentary service plan that comes with your new BMW purchase. This plan will take care of regular maintenance services, saving you a sizable amount of money on
routine costs like BMW oil changes
.
Your new car warranty covers any problem caused by a factory defect or faulty part, but it won’t cover you if there’s an accident, theft, vandalism, or weather damage. For protection from those unexpected mishaps, you’ll want a good
car insurance policy to complement your warranty coverage
