It reveals some of the hidden costs of ownership, as well as the likelihood of something going wrong.

- The typical repairs needed for each model, including the percentage of claims for engine, gearbox, electrical system, suspension, braking system and fuel system repairs.

BMW warranty FAQs
What does a BMW warranty cover?
A warranty direct from BMW covers:
- The costs of repairing or replacing the factory fitted mechanical & electrical components of your vehicle that have suffered sudden failure (including as a result of water ingress of a covered part) during the period of cover.
- The costs of consequential failure of a covered component.
All of these claims are subject to the maximum claims limit and the terms and conditions of the specific policy.
A MotorEasy BMW warranty covers all the same things as an BMW extended warranty but with the addition of:
- Wear & Tear cover
- Overheating failures
- Air conditioning issues
How much is a BMW extended warranty?
BMW warranty cover starts at £675 for a 3 year old 1 Series - The equivalent MotorEasy warranty is £505 saving you (on average) £170.
While BMW will cover the first 100,000 miles & charge an excess up to £250.00, MotorEasy will cover up to 120,000 with a highest excess charge of £50.00.
A MotorEasy extended warranty is a lot chepaer than BMW! The popular 3 series starts at £505.00 with MotorEasy whereas with BMW it costs almost £200 more! Almost 30% cheaper with MotorEasy. You also get a free health check included, which means your wear & tear cover can start immediately after the health check unlike the BMW warranty which does not cover general wear and tear.
In the event of a claim, you also won’t have to pay the £250 excess fee as detailed in BMW’s low cost warranty option. In contrast, a MotorEasy warranty gives you the flexibility to choose a modest repair contribution of £0, £25 or £50, as a way to lower the cost of your premium.
All things considered, a MotorEasy warranty compared to an BMW extended warranty is:
- Less expensive - by as much as 30%
- Offers more cover, notably for general wear & tear
- Won’t hit you with an expensive excess fee
- Gives you more flexibility to choose a modest repair contribution to lower your premium cost
- Includes a free vehicle health check
What is a BMW warranty?
A BMW warranty is provided at the time you purchase the vehicle. In the UK that covers 3 years and unlimited mileage. To maintain that cover you need to follow the manufacturer servicing guidelines, and stay within the mileage limits outlined above. NB - You can get your car serviced at any garage that uses approved BMW parts in order to satisfy those servicing guidelines.
It comes in 3 variants:
- Comprehensive - which covers the cost of repairing and/or replacing the mechanical & electrical components of your vehicle that were factory-fitted if they fail during the cover period.
- Named component cover which serves a similar purpose to the all component cover but where fewer parts are included - the less expensive & less comprehensive cover
- Driveline which only covers the main engine, transmission & drive train components. Claims are limited to £5,000 - which might be a bit limiting if your engine suffers a serious failure. NB - All types of warranty have eligibility criteria that you should check carefully
A MotorEasy extended warranty is the same idea. It provides cover for the cost of repairing factory-fitted mechanical and electrical parts on your car - outside of the original manufacturer warranty period. Usually 3 years with any BMW bought in the UK.
There are some additional benefits with an extended BMW Warranty from MotorEasy:
- General Wear & Tear cover which you don’t get with an BMW extended warranty
- Coverage for vehicles up to 120,000 miles (100,000 with BMW extended warranty)
- 12, 24 or 36 month cover (12 months with BMW)
This isn’t an exhaustive list. You can see the full list —> check what’s covered
