The index also includes model-specific data on:
- 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 is the standard BMW warranty?
A BMW warranty is provided when you purchase a new BMW. In the UK, it covers 3 years and unlimited mileage. To ensure that cover stays valid, you’ll need to follow the manufacturer servicing guidelines, and stay within the mileage limits outlined above. NB - You can get your car serviced at any VAT-registered garage that uses approved BMW parts in order to satisfy those servicing guidelines.
Here are the main BMW warranty packages:
- Comprehensive: This is the most complete BMW warranty option, 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: A more affordable option with limited coverage for specific parts, offering less protection than comprehensive coverage.
- BMW driveline warranty: This option only covers the main engine, transmission & drive train components. Claims are limited to £5,000 - which might not go far in the event of major engine failure.
Please note that all types of BMW warranty have eligibility criteria that you should check carefully.
When does my BMW warranty expire?
When you buy a new BMW in the UK, you’re covered by a comprehensive warranty for three years from the date of first registration. Approved used BMWs come with a 12-month warranty. You can get a BMW aftermarket warranty (extended warranty) to cover you beyond that time.
How does a MotorEasy extended warranty differ from a BMW warranty?
A MotorEasy extended warranty is the same idea as a BMW warranty. 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).
But we don’t just stop there. An extended BMW Warranty from MotorEasy gives you additional benefits, such as:
- Coverage for vehicles up to 120,000 miles (100,000 with BMW extended warranty)
- 12, 24 or 36 month cover - or monthly cover (12 months with BMW)
This isn’t an exhaustive list. You can see the full list here —> check what’s covered
What does a BMW warranty cover?
A warranty direct from BMW covers:
- The costs of repairing or replacing your car’s factory-fitted mechanical & electrical components in the event of a sudden failure (including failures caused by 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 bmw warranty terms and conditions highlighted in your specific policy.
What does a BMW warranty from MotorEasy cover?
A MotorEasy BMW warranty offers the same coverage as a BMW extended warranty, but with the addition of:
- Faults due to overheating
- Overheating failures
- Air conditioning issues
What does a BMW warranty not cover?
We strive to give you the best cover possible, but like every policy, there are limits to what we can cover for you. Here are some of the components that are excluded from BMW
- Routine servicing and maintenance
- Accidental damage or crash repairs
- Modifications not approved by the manufacturer
- Issues from missed services or ignored warning lights

How much is a BMW extended warranty?
MotorEasy offers a smarter, more affordable alternative to BMW's plan. For example, a 3-year-old BMW 1 Series warranty starts at £675 with BMW, but with MotorEasy, a BMW extended warranty costs just £505 - saving you around £170 (Almost 30% cheaper with MotorEasy!).
And that's not all. While BMW's warranty covers the first 100,000 miles with a hefty excess up to £250, MotorEasy goes further, covering up to 120,000 miles with a much lower excess. In fact, you can choose a modest repair contribution of £0, £25 or £50.
All things considered, a MotorEasy warranty compared to a BMW extended warranty is:
- Less expensive - by as much as 30%
- Offers more cover
- Won’t hit you with an expensive excess fee
- Gives you more flexibility to choose a modest repair contribution to lower your premium cost
- Gives you interest free instalment options
- Is trusted by over 1.2 million motorists
Is my BMW still under warranty?
If you purchased your car brand new in the UK, and it’s under 3 years old with less than 100,000 miles on the clock, you’re covered by a new car warranty.
Can I extend my BMW warranty?
Yes, you can extend your BMW warranty after the initial manufacturer’s warranty runs out (which is after 3 years in the UK).
How long is a BMW warranty?
Curious about your BMW warranty period? BMW's extended warranty covers 12 months and is only available for cars with less than 100,000 miles. In contrast, MotorEasy offers flexible extended warranties lasting 12, 24, or 36 months, or opt for monthly cover, with coverage available for vehicles up to 120,000 miles. More miles, more options!
Where can I buy a BMW extended warranty?
Wondering how to buy a BMW extended warranty? If you’re looking for a MotorEasy BMW extended warranty - with all of its additional benefits - you can get a BMW warranty quote. Just enter your registration number. Extend your coverage online with ease and keep your BMW protected even after your original warranty ends.
Is it worth getting a BMW extended warranty?
Yes, It’s definitely worth getting a BMW car warranty extension. As well made as BMW’s are, they can (and do) still go wrong. Once your new car warranty has expired, you’re fully responsible for repair costs, and these can be expensive. For example, the average repair cost of an engine failure in a 3 series is £1,870. In contrast, an extended MotorEasy BMW 3 series warranty starts at £505.00, which is significantly less.

Can I buy a BMW warranty for a used car?
If you bought your used BMW from a BMW main dealer, it likely came with at least a 12-month warranty (longer if there was any original manufacturer warranty left on the vehicle).
That said, you may want to benefit from more extensive warranty cover for added peace of mind. These additional benefits will also make your life easier:
- A free digital logbook in your MotorEasy account with useful date reminders (such as service and MOT dates) and access to special MotorEasy discounts
- Our monitored repair process tracks your progress and ensures work is completed to our agreed high standard
- You're never out of pocket - We pay network garages directly
- Access our network of 10,000 garages nationwide
- 24/7 online bookings
We can provide you with an extended BMW warranty cover as long as your car has fewer than 120,000 miles on the clock.
