CompreHEnsive Insured Warranty cover To help you learn more about whether a BMW Comprehensive Warranty is right for you, we’ve answered a number of popular customer queries.
Why should I choose Comprehensive Cover?
A BMW Comprehensive Warranty provides you with the highest possible level of protection because it covers the majority of your vehicle’s components. It also covers wear and tear for some covered components for the first 160,000 kilometres. By contrast, a Named Component Warranty provides mechanical and electrical breakdown cover for a smaller range of your vehicle's components, and does not cover the wear and tear of covered components. A BMW DriveLine Warranty offers a more basic level of cover, protecting only the main components that contribute to the engine, transmission and drive-train of your BMW. In addition, the claim limit for this policy is €6,700 (including VAT and VRT), rather than the purchase price paid for the vehicle.
