Warranty

BMW hasn’t released warranty information for the 2012 6-Series, but the automaker covers its other vehicles with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty, and there’s no reason why the 2012 6-Series won’t get the same treatment. BMW also provides four years of unlimited 24-hour roadside assistance.
