F30 328i and F30 330i till 2017 has 15 years/150000 miles PZEV emission warranty, but PZEV expires in 2018.
Starting 2018, 15 years/150000 miles TZEV emission warranty is available for F30 330e and G20 330e PHEV.
These lucrative emission warranties cover lots of expensive components, but are only available in PZEV/TZEV states(CA is one of them).
The covered components are more extensive than 8 years/80000 miles CA emission warranty.
E.g. timing chain of 2016 N26 and 2017 B46 and 2018 B48(PHEV) are covered under PZEV/TZEV for 15 years/150000 miles, that is a very very big deal.

Yeah, I took a look and there is a specific section for PZEV and for hybrids with batteries that fall under the classification. They get a 10 year/150K battery warranty also.
In Ca. the battery warranty is now 10yr/100K on current EV.
In 2026 it goes to 15yr/150K under the proposed rules.
Nice thing about EV motors as they don't wear much at all. I haven't heard any stories about motor replacement in any EV.
Good news since battery packs cost more than engines in ICE cars.
It's criminal what Tesla wants to charge for replacement batteries in the Model S and they want to yours as a core.
Been seeing stories of broken coolant nipples and they want $20K
