On 23-05-08 I purchased a 2005 BMW 320D SE Auto from a BMW main dealer. It was sold to me under the BMW Premium Selection Approved Car scheme. With it came a 12 month Extended Warranty, which expired on 22-05-2009. The present mileage is just over 31,000. About three weeks ago the DTC malfunction warning light came on and a couple of days later the car was inspected by the dealer and a 'hydraulic control fault' was diagnosed. With great efficiency the dealers ordered the spares and fitted them all under the extended warranty. I asked what the damages would have been if the fault had occurred a few weeks after the warranty expired. Rather sheepishly the answer was “around £1,800 sir.” Would you expect such a major fault to occur on a BMW with only 31,000 miles on the clock? Can I now insist that the brand new parts just fitted, be covered by a warranty of four years, in the same manner as the original parts fitted when the car was first built?
