You don’t need to transfer it as the original BMW warranty covers you in Ireland however I would give them a call to let them know of your change of address for when it comes time to renew the warranty.

Be careful....THe 3 year warranty in the UK becomes a 2 year warranty if the car is exported out of the UK. It's in the fine print.
I just transferred the 340i into BMW Ireland for it's service plan. I could also extend the AUC warranty at a very reasonable price.

It's a bit odd how it works..
My wife's car was imported about 3 years ago by someone (it's a 161)
I extended the warranty just before the end of the manufacturer warranty but had to use the UK reg - so there was no issue with the car being in Ireland. Seems their computer system can't cope with changing a reg no... They had no trace of it in Ireland as they have separate computer systems for Ireland and the UK.
The other odd thing is that it had a service pack which is 3 years in the uk (as opposed to 5 here). But when it went in for the egr recall it was serviced also under the service pack (in year 4)
So looks like even though you only have a 3 year service pack in the UK, in Ireland it just assumes it 5 years (or maybe it's just Joe Duffy)

Nope, the 3 year original BMW warranty is honored over here as BMW UK and BMW Ireland are the same distributor. I had an imported E90 years ago and had warranty work done on it by an Irish dealer in year 3 of the original BMW warranty with no problem.Quote:

I didn't buy the car from the dealer in question nor was the car serviced by dealer so I couldn't see how the dealer would offer any goodwill to me in paying for it out of their own pocket. In saying that this was about 10 years ago so things may have changed since then regarding the 3rd year of the warranty but BMW Ireland and BMW UK are still the same company.
I've got some warranty work done by Duffy on my ex UK G30 just few weeks ago. The car is well over 2yrs so full terms are honoured no problem. Same as UK service pack.
