BMW Warranty
At BMW of Grand Blanc, we know when it comes to buying or leasing a luxury vehicle you also want to know you are protected when driving around Grand Blanc, Lake Orion, and White Lake, Michigan.
That’s where warranty coverage comes in. If you’re exploring a new BMW or have recently joined the BMW family, understanding what’s covered under your warranty can help you feel confident every mile ahead. Below, we break down BMW warranty coverage by answering commonly asked questions to keep things simple and clear.
What Is Included in the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty provides 4 years or 50,000 miles of coverage, whichever comes first. This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in components supplied by BMW. That means if anything mechanical or electrical goes wrong during normal use, and it's not due to wear or neglect, BMW has your back.
This includes items like the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and certain electronics. However, parts like brake pads, wiper blades, and tires, which are considered wear-and-tear items, aren’t covered under this warranty. We can help check the condition of these parts during scheduled maintenance so you can help prevent the need for major repairs.
Does BMW Offer Complimentary Maintenance?
Yes, and it’s one of the standout perks of owning a new BMW. BMW Ultimate Care covers factory-recommended maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles. This includes services like oil changes, air filter replacement, brake fluid service, and more, performed at authorized BMW service centers.
It’s important to note that this is maintenance coverage, not repair coverage. But combined with the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, it adds an extra layer of convenience during your first few years of ownership.
Is There a Separate Warranty for the BMW EV Battery?
Yes. If you're driving a plug-in hybrid or fully electric BMW like the iX and the i5, the High-Voltage Battery Limited Warranty keeps you protected. With this, BMW provides coverage for 8 years or 100,000 miles for EV and PHEV batteries. This warranty protects against defects in materials or workmanship and ensures your electric BMW is protected for the long haul.
Does BMW Offer a Rust Perforation Warranty?
They do. BMW vehicles include a 12-year/unlimited-mileage rust perforation warranty. This covers the vehicle’s body against corrosion that leads to perforation from the inside out. It's another sign that BMW stands by the build quality of its vehicles, even in the long term.
What is the Federal Emission Warranty?
BMW vehicles are designed to meet strict federal emissions standards, and to back that up, every new BMW comes with a Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty. This warranty generally covers 2 years or 24,000 miles for emissions-related parts, and up to 8 years or 80,000 miles for certain emission control devices and components. This warranty ensures that if a defect causes your BMW to fail to meet EPA emissions standards, BMW will repair or replace the faulty part.
Can I Extend My BMW Warranty Coverage?
Absolutely. If you’d like to continue your warranty protection beyond the standard 4-year/50,000-mile window, BMW offers various vehicle service contracts and protection plans. These plans allow you to extend coverage up to 7 years or 100,000 miles with multiple tiers to choose from depending on how comprehensive you want your coverage to be.
Are BMW Certified Vehicles Covered Under Warranty?
Yes, BMW Certified vehicles come with their own warranty benefits. After the original 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty ends, BMW Certified cars get one additional year of coverage with unlimited miles. This makes buying a BMW Certified vehicle a smart option for shoppers who want the value of a pre-owned vehicle with warranty coverage that rivals new-car protection.
