BMW Basic Warranty
You are here
Every new BMW comes with a limited factory warranty. The BMW basic warranty, commonly known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty, covers repairs needed due to manufacturer defect or workmanship. The warranty covers most components of a new BMW and begins the day of delivery to the first owner (in-service date) or the first date of use.
What is Covered Under the BMW Basic Warranty?
The BMW basic warranty covers most components of a new BMW that fail due to manufacturer defect or workmanship. Wiper blade inserts, balancing, and alignment are covered as well, but under a limited warranty. Also, items that are subject to wear and tear or deteriorate due to driving conditions, such as brakes, filters, upholstery, trim, paint finish, drive belts, glass, and similar items are specifically limited to material defects or workmanship.
The BMW basic warranty covers the items mentioned above. For a complete list of items not covered, refer to the "What is Not Covered" section in the BMW warranty booklet.
How Long is the BMW Basic Warranty?
The BMW basic warranty applies for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty on the wiper blade inserts, balancing, and alignment applies for 2,000 mile. The BMW basic warranty begins on the delivery date or the first day of use. It is also transferable from one BMW owner to the next and there are no limits on how many owners the vehicle can have in order for the warranty to be valid.
