How much factory warranty is left on your i7?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
BMW i7 factory warranty
New BMW vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a BMW dealer.
Why body style matters
Sedans are the least demanding body style mechanically. There is one driven axle on most, no transfer case and less weight for the brakes and suspension to manage, so plan prices are usually at the lower end.
Electric drivetrain
An electric vehicle has no engine oil, spark plugs or multi-speed transmission. What can fail is the drive unit, the onboard charger, the DC-DC converter, the heat pump and the battery cooling system, plus the same suspension, steering and electronics as any car. Only some plans accept EVs, and battery capacity loss is not covered.
About BMW
BMW's factory coverage is a single 4-year, 50,000-mile term. After that, turbochargers, cooling components, electronics and adaptive suspension are common sources of large repair bills.
