If you are shopping for an extended warranty, don't forget to ask your BMW dealer if they sell 3rd party warranties, in addition to the BMW plans. Many do, and most won't mention them if they can sell you a BMW plan instead!

I was trying to find someone in my area that sold AUL, which was recommended by my long-term indy shop ("We've never had a problem with getting a repair authorized by AUL" was what they said), and finally happened to ask the SA at my dealer today when I took the car in for regular warranty service.

"Oh, sure, we sell several plans in addition to the BMW one, go see the finance manager...". I mentioned I had already done that, and no mention of the 3rd party plans. The SA replied "well, you have to ask, they won't volunteer that!" Turns out they sell AUL, will be getting a quote when I pick up the car.
