F33 Extended warranty worth it?

bimmer993 · 11-05-2019, 11:54 PM

My CPO warranty expired a couple of months back and now the car is showing lots of troubles

The air charge duct to engine recently broke and I had to spend $750 for fixing it at a reputed shop in south bay. In the same visit I found out there is engine oil gasket leak, suspension rod bushing cracks, evap fault and electric fan issues. Till now I never had such problems when I took it to dealer/3rd party and I don't know why these are showing up right now. The mileage on my car is just 32k miles and year is 2014.

I am considering buying extended warranty and or maintenance from 3rd party to offset the present repairs costs and any in future, however I am not sure if I should go for it or just go to cheap mechanics. I was quoted $4300 for 5 yr/60k miles bumper to bumper warranty.

Please advise!

DIY and parts from FCP Euro so you get lifetime warranty on any replacement parts less shipping. Get the Bentley manual. If you can diagnose the issues and have parts on hand the Indy may be cheaper.

I would love to do that but I don't own a house and don't have garage.

I did say you could diagnose it and buy the parts yourself and then have the Indy do it. I have Mercury Insurance and they have mechanical breakdown coverage but I would read the fine print. Or you could swap it for another CPO might not cost that much more could be less than buying an extended warranty for several grand.
