Hi all,
I'm new on here, so thanks in advance for any advice.
Last week, I bought a Nov 2016 i3 with 18k on the clock. Its a 94ah REX version - leather, large screen and turbine alloys, and with park assist - so a fair few extras. Bought from BMW used approved (UK) - so with the usual 12 m warranty etc.
Anyway, its a great car so far, drives perfectly. But have been very concerned after reading quite a few posts on various forums about the endless problems some of these cars have including the drivetrain issues. I know I'm 'safe' for the next 12 months, but what do I do after that? I heard the extended warranties from BMW don't come cheap.
Any advice on what to do once the 12 months are up? Do third party warranties cover the main components that become faulty? Anyway, I would be happy to sell-up in a year if things become tricky, and go back to ICE if necessary (which would be a shame!).
Thanks
