How long is the BMW warranty?
A new BMW comes with a 3-year warranty with no mileage limit, and BMW Roadside Assistance for the same 3 years.
A BMW Approved Used car comes with at least 12 months’ warranty, also with no mileage limit.
Once your BMW warranty ends, repair bills are yours to pay unless you have a warranty plan.

Can I extend my BMW warranty?
Yes. You have two main options when your BMW warranty runs out.
| BMW Insured Warranty | Brumble warranty plan | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An insurance policy offered by BMW | A discretionary warranty plan, not insurance |
| Provided by | Underwritten by an insurer for BMW | Warrantywise, bought via Brumble |
| How repairs are decided | Under the policy terms | Each repair request is reviewed individually by Warrantywise |
| Price | Ask BMW for a quote | From £399, shown upfront |
Both can help with repair bills after your BMW warranty ends. Compare what each includes before you choose.
Which BMWs can get a Brumble warranty?
Most BMWs up to 15 years old and 150,000 miles when you buy, including the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 4 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW X1, BMW X3 and BMW X5.
Your plan level is based on your BMW’s fuel type, age and mileage. The price is the same at every level.
What does a warranty include?
Every plan includes these as standard, regardless of your plan level:
- £0 voluntary contribution towards authorised repair costs.
- Unlimited repairs up to your car’s value over the life of your warranty plan.
- AA breakdown assistance, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

- Independent review by an industry expert if you disagree with a repair decision.
Your warranty plan level is based on your vehicle's fuel type, age and mileage. Different plan levels are designed around different vehicle components and repair contribution limits. The price is the same for every plan level.
How reliable are used BMWs? Brumble’s MOT analysis
Based on 1.8 million DVSA MOT tests. MOT results show what fails a roadworthiness inspection, which is not the same as what a warranty can pay for, but it is a useful guide to where wear tends to appear.
