Post After Market Extended Warranty Well Worth It

So after having 70k on my car and doing FBO on my car, about 2 weeks later my turbo seals start blowing smoke. When I purchased my car it was not a CPO car but I purchased a After Market extended "Quality Guard Plus" bumper to bumper warranty. So I took it to a Recommended bmw performance shop. Well after jumping through some hoops and the warranty company give me a tough time as far as them wanting a BMW dealership doing the work. Thank for giving me $7800 worth of parts and Labor for me just spending my $100 deductible . This would consist of 2 NEW Turbo's, water pump, thermostat, new gaskets, NEW injectors, O-rings, New plugs and oil change. So in the long run the extended warranty was well worth wit

Wow, the warranty has already paid itself off many times.

I wish I could replace all that stuff at once, my car would run like new again (literally). GOOD STUFF!

That's awesome! I hope I can find the same value in my after market warranty if I decide to keep it. I'm within 30 days of purchasing my car + warranty

I thought the turbos were warrantied through BMW for 100k miles???

Anyway my aftermarket warranty has paid a total of about $7500 in parts/labor and I'm not even half way through the time or mileage limit. Even if I bought the parts and installed them myself, I still would've paid more than I did for the warranty, which was $2500. The warranty company has't given me one problem with any claims that I've made.
