I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'd like to clear it up once and for all........!

 

I noticed some paint bubble/rust just above my rear bumper so I rang Cotswold BMW (Cheltenham) body shop. They informed me that the paint warranty is only 3 years......

Surely this isn't right?! When I questioned them about it being 6 years they simply said "I don't know where you heard that - it's always been 3!"

Anybody with any experience of this please......?

Think that is correct..... 3 year paint warranty, but 12 year anti corrosion warranty,for cars registered after 1st Jan 2004, if its bubbles and there is no paint 'damage and its original are you not covered under the corrosion warranty?

IIRC they had 6 year anti corrosion then, so yours is still inside that, just.
