Hi Frens,

My E90 warranty is going to end in Dec 2012. Can i sent my car to PML for
overall check on the car? If yes, do anyone know how much will PML charge for
doing the overall check on the car.

Thank in advance.
 
Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

the labour for pre-expired warranty checking is about $80+
can do it together during servicing

Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

if i remember correctly, PML charged me around 200 bucks 2yrs ago for my for E90 320.
had it done just 2 weeks before warranty expired.
everything found ok, so no repairs needed. the following month, my AC broke down.

Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

get an outside workshop to check better.
get a service report and see if anything needs repairing.
then u go to bmw to do a check.
they probably tell u everything ok and if that differs from workshop report, show em.
ask them to rectifiy everything before your warranty really expires
asking PML to do pre-warranty expire check, at least for me is a joke.....ask the other brothers who have feedbacked to them abt problems b4 their warranty expired....keke

Second that.

I just sent my family's 740 to an external workshop to do a pre-warranty check in May, and turns out many engine parts needed replacement. Book an appointment with PML Alexandra, tell them to run a check on the faulty parts, and they replaced the parts accordingly.

Definitely the top of your priority list as it makes selling your ride in the near future easier too.
 
Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

Actually i also doubt that whether PML will do a check on it or just pocket the money without doing any check and end of the day just say everything is OK. because i think 2nd and 3rd year is warranty by PML and not BMW itself right??
Any bro here intend to send their car outside to check, please share which workshop is good.
I know one at tanjong katong Mobil station workshop. they most service MB car and sometime i saw they also service BMW.

Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

Hi All

I did my last service at Alexander workshop, the charge for vehicle inspection for 3rd year is $132.

My advisor was Anthoney Lim and i told him to replace whatever that is still under warranty and needs to be change. I was then told to come back in 5 days time.

When i got back the car and saw the repair order, there were 30 items listed, from the standard services to replacing sealing, radiator, coolant thermostat, water pump and misc. Most of it were cover under the warranty. Final bill was less then $400.

I hope that this is the standard service given to all owners when their cars is at the end of the 3 years warranty. Wish you all well.

LeeLee thanks for the kind information shared here. Mine is going to end in a couple months time too,

3 questions like to check with you,

1) are you able to share with us what are the other parts they replaced for you ? (so that i know what to demand also :D)

2) since its like 30 items, your car was down for 5 days in total ? Need to plan for my downtime .. ( i assumed PML won't be so nice to provide replacement car ... )

3) how come your damage work out to be around $400 ? Is it because of standard services included such as oil change/ oil filter ?


Thanks !
 
Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

Hi sOng

1) They will inform you what they are replacing after they do your last vehicle inspection. I just told the advisor to change or replace whatever is necessary since this is the last service before the warranty expire. Be nice to him.

2) Yeah, do plan your schedule as they do not provide a replacement car.

3) Yes, it is for the standard oil change, filter and the vehicle inspection of $132.

I do not know anything about cars so i am at the mercy of the advisor.
 
Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

Hi Leelee,

Do you have any idea which service centre is Good. I always sent my car to East Coast centre and near to my house.
As my warranty expire end of Dec. Mostly i will only sent in for inspection on Nov as i still got 6k mileage to go before next servicing.
My Mileage now is about 45k

Thank You.
 
Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

so how long in advance should we bring our car for a pre-expired warranty check? 1 months/2 months???
considering the time for PML to stock in the replacement parts.

Mine ending October.

Re: E90 Car Warranty Expire Soon

Today i sent my car for 50k servicing and at the sametime request for a Vehicle Inspection as my warranty expire next month, according to the SA, he say can be done within a day... I read from here, mostly it take 2 ~ 3 days to do the inspection check. No i got some doubt whether they do the check on my car.

Anyone here have done the inspection check within a day???

Yes, it is done within a day according to the vehicle checklist
