What’s Covered Under the New BMW Warranty?
Every new BMW comes with standard factory warranty coverage that includes:
- 4-Year/50,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty
- 12-Year/Unlimited Mile Rust Perforation Warranty
- 4-Year/Unlimited Mile Roadside Assistance
- 3-Year/36,000-Mile Complimentary BMW Ultimate Care Maintenance
This comprehensive plan covers repairs and defects in materials or workmanship for nearly all vehicle components – excluding regular wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, tires, and wiper blades.
BMW Ultimate Care (Standard Maintenance Plan)
Included with all new BMW models, Ultimate Care provides no-cost scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. It includes:
- Engine Oil and Filter Changes
- Brake Fluid Services
- Cabin Microfilter Replacements
- Spark Plug and Air Filter Replacements (as scheduled)
- Vehicle Check-Ins and Diagnostics
It’s not just about saving money on service – it’s about preserving performance, resale value, and long-term reliability.
BMW Extended Vehicle Protection (Optional Coverage)
Looking for more protection after the factory warranty ends? BMW Extended Vehicle Protection plans allow you to keep your vehicle covered for up to 7 years or 100,000 miles. These plans are available in three tiers:
- Powertrain Plus: This plan covers essential components like the engine, transmission, and drive axle.
- Gold: This tier includes all Powertrain Plus items, plus steering, cooling, fuel, and electrical systems.
- Platinum: This is the most comprehensive option – it covers nearly every mechanical and electrical component of your vehicle.
Each plan includes 24/7 roadside assistance, towing reimbursement, trip interruption benefits, and a rental vehicle allowance. These are factory-backed programs, so you’re guaranteed BMW-trained technicians and OEM parts.
BMW Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Coverage
If you’re buying a BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from BMW of Gainesville, you’re getting more than just a premium pre-owned vehicle – you’re getting added protection that’s been quality-assured.
All Certified Pre-Owned BMW models include:
- 1-Year/Unlimited Mileage Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty after the 4-Year/50,000-Mile new vehicle warranty expires.
- Option to upgrade with Certified Pre-Owned Extended Warranty plans.
- Coverage for engine, transmission, suspension, electrical, cooling, fuel system, and more.
BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicles undergo a 196-point inspection, reconditioned with genuine BMW parts, and must have less than 60,000 miles to qualify.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Warranty Coverage
Driving electric? BMW EV and plug-in hybrid models come with unique coverage that supports battery health and long-term performance.
EV-Specific Warranty Coverage Includes:
- BMW Ultimate Care EV Services (brake inspections, fluid checks)
- 8-Year/100,000-Mile High-Voltage Battery Warranty
- 4-Year/50,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty (same as gas models)
If you decide to purchase a BMW i model, BMW i Roadside Assistance is tailored specifically for electric driving, offering services like trip routing, battery jumpstarts, and towing to the nearest charging station.
What’s Not Covered?
While BMW warranty coverage is extensive, there are some exclusions. These typically include:
- Routine wear-and-tear (brakes, tires, wiper blades).
- Cosmetic damage (dents, scratches, upholstery).
- Environmental damage (hail, flood, etc.).
- Damage from misuse or racing.
- Maintenance services outside of the Ultimate Care schedule.
