What is the BMW warranty?

I’m ready to buy my first-ever new luxury car, but the warranty is really important to me. I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a BMW, but what is the BMW warranty?

The
BMW
warranty was updated in 2017. Instead of providing a comprehensive warranty in addition to a powertrain warranty, the two programs were combined into one bumper-to-bumper warranty, which includes powertrain coverage with all the other covered components.
Here’s a rundown of the BMW warranty you’ll get with a new vehicle purchase:
  • 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty: This includes comprehensive coverage and powertrain coverage.
  • 3-year/36,000-mile complimentary service: Under the service program, you’ll receive complimentary routine maintenance services recommended by the manufacturer.
  • 12-year/unlimited mileage corrosion warranty: BMW’s corrosion warranty will take care of any surface rust that pops up on your car for 12 years.
  • 1-year alignment adjustment: If you need a minor alignment adjustment in the first year of ownership, it’s included with your new BMW.
As you can see, BMW’s warranty coverage is pretty impressive, but it’s not enough to entirely protect your new car. Remember, there’s a big
difference between car warranties and car insurance
.
To cover the gap left by what your warranty won’t take care of, you’ll need a good
car insurance
policy. Even better, you need a good policy at a good price. And you can find one in a matter of minutes with the
