BMW warranty - what doc should I have?

[matlockscot]

Hopefully a simple question with a simple answer....

Bought a 2008 GSA in July from Pidcocks, with a year of the maunfacturer's warrantly remaing. The question is, should I have any documents (card?) to show that the bike is under warranty? Or is their some kind of Big Brother database that will have the necessary records should I break down?

You should have got a BMW assist card mate with all the numbers that you will be needing.

As long as you're registered with BMW assist they don't now send you a card. All you need is the contact number

I'd ring them to make sure you're on the system

As he said. I got a second hand bike, 495 miles old! And never received any warranty paperwork. I phoned BMW customer services and was told that the registration and frame numbers are all thats required for any warranty work and gave me the BMW assist number should I need it.

Thank you all, that's put my mind at rest. I was given the numbers for assist when I picked the bike up.

Same for me when i got my bike from Pidcocks

That's now expired so have just bought the extended warranty and you still get nothing other than what I printed out.

In the old days you got a comprehensive BMW Warranty booklet

Nowadays the BMW beancounters just dish out a help number

Make a note of it

If its already run out I doubt they'd let you renew it- if its about to run out can't see why not

i applied to bmw customer services via e mail and was sent a service card for my used r1200gs

Do they send you an invitation to move on to the extended warranty when the 2 year manufacturer warranty runs out ? Mine runs out in Jan '10
