Do BMW/MINI ask you if you want to buy a warranty when you pick up you car?

If they do offer a warranty is it really worth it? I currently have an extended warranty for my Renault, I'm into my 3rd year of the warranty and I haven't even claimed on it, because the things the problems I have had are not covered. i.e. problems with airbags, connections etc...

thanks

you want the warranty really, cos otherwise, ***'s law states that you'll regret it in the future if you don't get it

All uk mini's come with 3 year unlimited mileage warranty as standard. Initial batch came with 60,000m limit, but were upgraded as of last month free of charge.

Yeah, I just read in the MINI brochure that ALL UK MINIs come with a 3 year warranty!

***'s law also states that you also regret it when you do buy extended warranty, like I did with Renault!
