Should I buy my BMW from a main dealer?

Hi. I would like to buy a 2010 BMW 5 Series in 2012. I would like to know if I should buy from a BMW dealer or would it be ok to buy from a SIMI-registered dealer, as there is a three-year warranty with BMW.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

The original manufacturer's warranty is not affected by the car being sold through a non-BMW outlet, so there's no reason not to buy from a SIMI-registered dealer instead of a BMW-branded one.

Hope this helps.
