What does my BMW warranty cover?

What’s the scoop on the BMW warranty? I’ve considered purchasing a new vehicle, but I’m weighing my options when it comes to protection.

It’s good to check up on warranty coverage before making your final choice! In general, a new BMW Warranty lasts for up to four years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The new vehicle limited warranty will cover the costs to repair your vehicle from defects in materials/parts or workmanship.
BMW’s warranty coverage can be further broken down into three parts:
Basic New Vehicle Limited Warranty: Up to 4 years or 50,000 miles Rust Perforation Warranty: 12 years/unlimited miles Federal Emission Warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles
In addition to the standard warranty, new BMW vehicles will also receive BMW Ultimate Care, which covers regularly scheduled maintenance costs for up to three years or 36,000 miles. Roadside assistance is complimentary during the entire warranty period.
However, just because your BMW is under warranty doesn’t mean it’s protected from owner-caused damage. The basic warranty also doesn’t cover degrading parts from natural wear and tear. For that, you may want to purchase
mechanical breakdown insurance
