What warranty company do you recommend, and what’s a reasonable cost for an extra 3 years? I’m looking at a CPO 228i for my daughter and was thinking I should probably do an extended warranty for her even though I never get it for myself.

BMW warranty I spoke with them and they said I can do maintenance at home and show receipts. So in the end when I'm ready to buy the car, I'll try to haggle to get it for free. I'm still a bit disappointing it's only 3 years, I plan on keeping the car at least 5 years but we'll see, I'll take good care of it haha |

I have actually read the contracts (including fine print) of a dozen or so EW Companies in the USA and NONE have requirements as ridiculous as you have posted here. I guess that’s the difference in reading the contracts and believing fiction from god knows where. FWIW, one of this forums most recommended 3rd Party EW Companies has some of the worse terms of them all, IMO, but that has to do with diagnostic charges and rental cars, not anything like you have posted. It does make we wonder who actually reads what they sign and how much posted is similar to what your post stated. |

I bought my 2014 435i last year, no CPO. 45K Km and $45K...warranty runs out next month. I trust the car enough to believe nothing will break down but I plan to sell when I hit 100K KM.(knock on wood).
This is my third BMW, the other being a used 2006 Z4 3.0si and a 2009 328i coupe and both were out of warranty for years. No issues on either but mileage was both until 100K. I'll take the $4k risk easily. The 435i has a pretty good reliable motor from what I've read, way better than the e90 twin turbos. As for that Car/home insurance vs warranty analogy, you're forced to buy car/home insurance. Warranties, you're not. However if you compare to the options you have in car insurance (increasing liability, collision, free rental etc) which may increase your monthly rate, then maybe that's a better comparison. |
