Thanks Pete. If there is a fault I hope your warranty covers it.

On the subject of warranties I have realised my logic may be faulty.

Firstly I have assumed BMW have priced their warranties to make a profit. But it is possible that, to help maintain residual values of their cars, they simply want to cover their costs. ie customers for new cars will be less worried about depreciation if they think second hand buyers will believe they can protect themselves from expensive maintenance with "cheap" warranties.

Secondly, even if they do want to make profit from warranties, they could do this with a price that is less than what we would be charged for any repairs.
They need only cover THEIR costs.

So their warranty pricing MAY be more reasonable than I thought which would explain why so many who have bought warranties feel they got a good deal.

I need to stop worrying about this and enjoy my car
