Errr...I just got my warranty extended to 100,000, should I take it?
So as some of you may know on the boards, I bought a lightly used "Demo" 2012 this year.
There was a hiccup with BMWNA in registering my warranty (they just caught it, probably because I sent an email to BMWNA about my rusty seat), and my dealer, because they forgot to do this, just called to offer me 2 options: 1. Extend the warranty to 5 years/100,000 through BMWNA (Platinum package, in effect after 50,000, with a $50 deductible). OR 2. Dealership specific warranty to cover ALL expenses for an additional 3 months. I'm tempted for #1 because I drive 22k miles a year. thoughts?

Which got me thinking about the next job, the next commute, and I'm trying to "hedge" against running out of time (5 versus 6) or mileage. I'm pleasantly surprised that they are offering the platinum protection free of charge for the 5 years. Seems like all of you are with my wife on the 5 year 100k. Others? I have until tmrw. to decide. Thx guys!

I don't understand the original warranty issue. For a demo, BMW provides the same 4yr/50K warranty. Demo's will have a start mileage beginning with the mileage the car was delivered. So if you got the car with 1,000 miles on it, your warranty is good for 4yrs from delivery or 51,000 miles.
Whats with this extended warranty they want to give you for free? |
