DriveAllDay;622232 said:There are some misunderstanding around. You should not be looking at PML warranty terms. Instead look at the warranty terms from country you intend to buy from. If you buy through from UK, here's what UK BMW website says
BMW UK : Service & Maintenance
Warranty Outside UK
Every new vehicle supplied by a BMW (UK) Limited authorised dealer carries a worldwide warranty. For the first 24 months, should your car need to be repaired under warranty outside the UK then it must be taken to the most convenient BMW Dealer in that country and the work will be carried out under warranty, provided you can show that the vehicle is still within the 24* month warranty period. This can easily be done by producing the service booklet and showing the 'FREE PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION' box stamped by the selling dealer.
The important thing is: this applies to ORIGINAL OWNER. You just have to make sure your PI register you with BMW UK as an original owner.
PML charges you (according to forummer above, SGD30K) to put your name in the global BMW database. If your name is already on it, then they have no choice but to honour your warranty. Stuggart honoured my Boxster warranty this way.
Hope this helps.
