BMW Warranty Options

Cost & Coverage Review

BMW USA Factory Warranty is 4 years or 50,000 of bumper-to-bumper repairs on breakdowns caused by flaws in design or engineering during assembly.

BMW will pay the cost of parts and labor to fix or replace all defective mechanisms for the first 4 years.

However, BMW Factory Warranty does not include damage from improper usage, paint chips, modified parts, or normal wear to upholstery and trim.

BMW USA offers three options for owners who want to buy extended coverage: Platinum, Gold, and Powertrain.

What do the BMW Factory Warranty Options cover?

BMW Platinum

BMW USA Platinum coverage includes the engine, drive assembly, transfer case, transmission, radiator, fuel pump, water pump, infotainment, electrical, air conditioning, heat, and steering.

The only items not covered are listed in section 5a of the Sample Plan in the PDF section below.

Gold

The Gold extension includes a similar list of covered items, but does not cover as many electrical components as the Platinum plan.

By comparison, the Gold Plan does not include the radio, entertainment system, navigation, infotainment, or any component of those systems.

Powertrain

This minimal plan covers the main drivetrain components, but little else.

How much is the repair copay?

BMW deductible copay is $50 per repair visit. If several repairs are completed during a single visit, the copay remains $50.

How much does the BMW Platinum warranty cost?

Retail Market Value

6 Years or 100,000 miles
$50 Deductible: $5840

Prices may vary by model, specs, location, and start date.

Can I transfer my BMW extended warranty to the second owner?

Where will repairs be done?

Repairs are completed at the owners choice of any factory-authorized BMW Facility using 100% original parts installed by BMW technicians.

It’s best to return to the selling dealer, but not required.

A Service Representative will obtain a repair authorization prior to starting the repair. Owners may also contact BMW directly regarding claims at this phone number:
