I have a 2016 F31. I ended up going CNA Automotive Preferred Care Plus from the Fields BMW dealer. I have 38K on the odo. Went 6 more years 92K mileage, no deductible for $5.1K. I had a BMW warranty on my '06 E91 and repairs easily went over the cost of that warranty.

What scared me off of third party warranties is a clause stating something along the lines of "if your CEL turns on, you must pull over immediately and get towed, or warranty Is void". (This can be under a blanket statement about not exacerbating damage)
Based off many bad reviews, that means taking the next highway exit and not risking being killed on the side of the road voids warranty, as well as driving the last mile home. It was in every one that I read the documentation for. You're all comfortable with this? |

I am sure the Key FOB and others also have limitations. Again, as stated, you need to read the fine print on any EW POLICY. Not the "selling points" as "rental car reimbursement. For you it may work. For others, maybe, or maybe not. Again, very few parts, unless major, take 4+ hours of labor costs. |

Did you not ask for examples that were gotchas I found in Route 66 coverage (yes you did). Was other poster first to mention Rental Reimbursement in thread and I told of restrictions in a Route 66 Coverage, as you requested. I pointed out that it was not a full rental reimbursement as poster implied, which he later read the contract and admitted. Sorry that people have trouble reading a thread and understanding it's flow. |

My friend's daughter lost her life sitting in a car on the side of the highway. When I break down I get out of the car and move away from the road every time. Sucks when it's cold though lol

I’m my experience third-party insurance = no claim insurance. If you don’t make a claim, you’re covered.

F31 data point
I'm shopping around warranties for my CPO F31d, so I'll contribute a few data points. I have about 29k on the car. CPO warranty expires Jan 2021, Federal emissions warranty expires Dec 2024 or 80k, the CA emissions warranty expires Dec 2023, and the EGR warranty expires 2026.
3rd-party exclusionary coverage (Portfolio Protection Plan B) $4184 $100 deductible. Expires Jan 2025 or 100,000 miles on odometer. Will need to bring car to selling dealer if within 40 miles. If not near selling dealer, will need to call and get authorized before going to another repair shop. Non-OEM, remanufactured, parts are permissible. BMW CPO Wrap Elite $4000 $50 deductible. Expires Dec 2023 (unlimited miles) Comparing the two, the 3rd-party is cheaper, lasts over a year more, and covers most suspension components that the BMW warranty does not. However, claims can be a nightmare. I've never dealt with Portfolio, but had good experiences with one of JVBFTW recommendations: Fidelity. Reading Consumer Affairs carefully and filtering out the spam, seems like Portfolio likes to wordsmith their way out of coverage. JVBFTW do you have any experiences with Portfolio?

Does anybody know if I can buy an extended warranty for a vehicle I buy from a private party? It seems in California these companies don't sell direct, so would a dealer sell me the warranty?

I remember Route 66 will sell to you even if you buy from private party. You can buy it thru a credit union. It needs to be paid in full. Easy Street is their best plan.

I called Route 66, they gave me the number to university credit union. Called them and asked about purchasing a route 66 warranty. They gave me Route 66s number. 🙄
I tried EasyCare too, they said I need to buy from the dealer. Anybody know who I can call to actually buy a warranty? I'm in Southern California. |

At the end of the day, I got a decent deal on the BMW OEM warranty to a price comparable to the 3rd party offerings.
