The AUC warranty ran out on our 1 series last year, so I took out an extended warranty. I went for zero excess fully comp at €79 a month.

I just went on bmw warranty Ireland website and gave them a call. Mondial arrange the extended warranty. Make sure you call then before your AUC warranty expires though.

I've had to use the AUC warranty on the 520d and I'd shudder to think of what I'd have to have shelled out if it didn't have the warranty (timing chain, turbo, etc)

Don't think I'd own another BMW without a BMW warranty.
