I am about to pick up an MC on Friday.
I have had an RAC inspection which mentioned the following:

* Steering judder / uneven tyre wear - recommended solution: wheel alignment
* One wiper jet blocked
* Rear anti roll bar bush worn
* Signs of corrosion around the nuts on 3 of the alloys

If I went to a dealership, how many of the points above could I expect to be covered by the BMW extended warranty?

I would have thought that these would not be covered, but it depends upon the kindness of the dealer's heart.

None of these are particularly unusual on a used car.

I would simply use these as price haggling points.

All wear and tear items and as such not covered by the warranty - unless they happen to be failures during a MOT, which are then covered strangely.

Well I answered this on the owners forum but would like to point out that born rear suspension bushes are covered and have been replaced under warranty on my own car.

The drain in the petrol filler area was also blocked and cleared under warranty.

Depends on your dealer at the end of the day - some help others hinder. I havent a bad word to say about the Sytners I use.

I've got lots to say about most of my local dealers - however I won't. It's enough to say I didn't take the option on extending my warranty any further after spending £400 of my own money for them to track down a hazard warning light problem that I was subsequently told would have been covered. Each time you go in you get a different story. I only use BMW now for stuff that the independents can't/won't do.

I didn't renew my warranty on my 5 series this year, as it jumped from £600 (expensive but worth it) to £970 (very expensive, probably worth it, but difficult to justify) mainly because i didn't want to be told "sorry sir, not covered under [that very expensive] warranty"
