The car is 05, but only got 55k miles, so it would be pointless to pay 2-3K for a year of warranty.
Its an X5, i asked this question in the X5 forum, but got no help. And i know you guys know your stuff.
I need to decide if we need one within 2 days.
Thanks a lot.
BMW will only sell you a powertrain warranty for out-of-warranty car, not much sense for an '05. Similar issues apply for 3rd party warranties, a lot of them won't sell you a "full coverage" once the factory warranty has expired.
