Can you get an extended warranty for already failed electrical parts?
One of my modules has failed.. Its not a big deal but I would like to have it fixed but it looks like the repairs alone for 1000+ for it. My car is still under 100k and the 7 years. I haven't taken it to a shop to be diganosed or anything so couldn't I just purchase bmw extended 100k warranty and have them fix it after whatever waiting period?

Even the cpo doesn't cover entertainment parts
Even the cpo doesn't cover entertainment parts
this includes Bluetooth , Sirius radio etc.. But this can of like asking if you can buy car insurance after you have been in an accident isn't it. Which module is it ? |

When you purchase the BMW extended warranty, they need a key readout. If the error is not on the key then you are good. But if the error is already shown on the key then you won't be able to.

Doing a uvi for an ext. warranty requires them to check everything. (If) they find it u will have to get it fixed before a warranty company will even bother. They also look closely at people who buy warranties and use it within days of purchase. The vehicle is supposed to be in tip-top shape before you are covered.

lol 3 dealerships didn't notice my ULF died and its not throwing error codes. It just doesn't show up in the computer..
Honestly I am really pissed.. I bought the car used at 30k and I can't remember if I bought it under factory warranty or CPO.. If it is CPO I guess I am covered for a few more months and up to 100k.. anyway like I was saying Im pissed because I took it to the dealership at 45k and told them the idrive was acting wonky and they just said everythign was fine.. Then they wouldn't replace the trim where all the paint came of because it was one of the things the warranty didn't cover.. I hate the dealership.. love indy techs tho |

Buy one, slap it in and bite the bullet for programming. It's literally one of the easiest things to get to/replace. Tops it has 4 8mm nuts holding it down. Or sell the car and keep driving the kick-ass corvette u say u have? No, really. I have one too. Love it. Lol |

If I am going to replace it I want to go with a TCU + BT with assist over the old ULF. Should I jus order one before I pay BMW 132.00 dollars to tell me it is broken because I am pretty sure it is.. unless its the idrive.. I had a corvette... |

I am guessing just ordering one and putting it in all hooked up saves me 200 dollars as all they have to do is reprogram it.. I wish I could just talk to the dealer without them money grubbing for 130.00 dollars. |

When I bought the extended warranty for my 5er, All I had to do was go to the dealership and ask for a key readout. I just had to fax the readout to them the same day I bought the warranty. After those steps, my 5er's warranty got extended. I bought my extended warranty from Cali and I"m from NY. This was done while I still had my original warranty. They did not look or check my car in person.

Go to the dealer and ask for a key readout and inquire about your warranty status.

As absurd as the question sounds, there are situations where you can buy insurance with a pre existing condition. For example, you can get aaa plus and wait 7 days. As such, there are dealers who sell discounted BMW extended warranties over the phone without seeing the vehicle nor reading the key.

OP - What year is your car/ how many miles are on it. From my understanding, you can only buy the extended warranty while you are still under the new car warranty.
It might be different if you car was CPO.

ok, fixing the issue $1000, extended warranty (platinum) $3000 + $50 deductible each repair, I think if you just pay the $1000, you will prob still come out ahead, than paying $3000 for another 25K miles

That is something you should try and report back with the results.
