BMW Service : Warranties
Original BMW Parts as well as Original BMW Accessories, a warranty of two years regardless of the mileage is offered. Service you can count on - we guarantee it.
Original BMW Parts : Remanufactured Parts
Yet every exchangeable part is subject to exactly the same quality specifications as a new BMW Part and it even carries the same 24-month warranty.
Neither mention the requirement that an authorized repair facility needs to do the installation. BMW does cover the labor of the installation of the part for 2 years if performed at a BMW dealer though.
So, if a dealer installs a part, the part and labor are covered for 2 years. If you or a non-dealer installs it, just the part is covered. If an indy did the install, they might warranty their own work though.
If you buy BMW floor mats and don't have the dealer install them, are you saying they wouldn't be covered?
If you bought a transmission and didn't have the dealer install but 1 year later first gear went out, you don't think BMW would honor the warranty if it was installed in a BMW? Wouldn't the Magnuson–Moss act come into play?
