Good to know

Paying £35 per month for 7 months is £245, plus an excess of £100. With BMW labour rates alone being around £100 per hour, it's an annual cost I'm prepared to risk spending.

If I don't use it all well & good, if I do use it, won't take much to go wrong to rack up £345 in repair bills.

Just can't see the point in paying for it at the moment when not using the bike. Will review it again as & when we get the all clear to go out.

Im having to use mine for work at the moment,which isn't really a bad thing with the roads being so quiet,,even more so at 4.00am

If an annual policy has been purchased recently, as with all insurances, you get a 14 day "cooling off" period where the policy can be cancelled with a full refund.

After that, annual policies can be cancelled with a pro rata refund, less a £25 admin fee.

Had this today,


Hi Graham,

Hope this email finds you well?

              BMW Motorrad have now extended the service schedules by 3months and 1200 miles beyond the due date and extended warranties expiring in this period to June 30th.

Kindest Regards,
Jonathan Rogan | Group Aftersales Director

David. wrote:Have spoken to the warranty sales team too. They have confirmed that BMW are offering customers a payment holiday of 60 days. What this means for me is that I can re-start the policy within the 60 days with immediate cover. Won't have to wait the normal month for the policy to start.

The 60 days will expire at the end of May. I do not wish to re-start the policy on 1st June. Have posed the question, "what happens if the policy isn't renewed, will I have to wait a month for cover or will the policy be effective immediately".

BMW couldn't answer the question and said they would have to refer it to the underwriters. The Warranty is provided by AWP Assistance UK Ltd (trading as BMW Motorrad Insured Warranty Services). Found some contact details for Allianz-Assistance, https://www.allianz-assistance.co.uk/he ... ct-us.html Rang them on 0345 600 2205, awaiting a call back to confirm what the situation with renewal will be.

Thought it might be worth posting the details here for future reference, just in case BMW try to fob you off.

Should I choose to re-start the Warranty, Allianz-Assistance have agreed to extend the immediate cover option for a further 60 days. This will take me up to around the end of July. It's likely that I may not use the bike until mid July for the RT meet, assuming it goes ahead.

That is the result I was looking for, happy days.

Re-started my warranty today with immediate effect, £35 per month inc. £100 excess for warranty & breakdown cover.

Have a 14 day cooling off period, could always cancel it after the RT meet.

Hi david i took out the same warranty myself thanks for the information.

Just got a quote for another BMW Insured Warranty, https://www.motorrad-warranty.co.uk/Login/Index

Including Roadside Assistance with a £100 Excess, the "Monthly Pay As You Go" premium is £35.00 per month, hasn't gone up!

I might pay the first instalment on Monday 1st March 2021, to be effective from 1st April 2021.

7 payments will get me through to the end of October 2021.

Paid the first instalment today, have requested the policy documents by post. In the event that lockdown isn't lifted on 29th March, or I choose to cancel the policy, I have up to 14 days after receiving the documents to get a full refund.

It's that time of year again, just renewed my lapsed BMW Motorrad Insured Warranty to start on 1st April 2022.

The premium is £35 per month for a warranty inc. roadside assistance with an excess of £100.

Will pay this for 7 months until 31st October 2022.

Just out of interest? what has it cost over the last 4 years for the BMW servicing to uphold the T&C's of the warranty + parts purchased by yourself, and what have you successfully claimed for paying the £100 excess? Obviously the cost of the warranty has been £980.00 for 7 months annually over the last 4 years.

Over the last 4 years, I've paid BMW £350 for servicing (labour only).

Haven't got a total cost for parts purchased by myself but this would be the same whoever did the servicing.

I've successfully claimed for both front brake calipers & pads to be changed and had the LHS handlebar switch replaced.

Obviously the cost of the warranty has been £980.00 for 7 months annually over the last 4 years.





Not true figure as not deducting breakdown cost.
