Anyone bought extended warranty?
I forgot to ask this a while ago, i have my '09 335i coupe on order.
i was wondering if buying an extended warranty was possible? is it worth it? how much does it normally costs ? thanks. |

Correct. It is less expensive if you purchase it when the car is new. I purchased AAA Autoguard when my car was a few weeks old.

When its time for me to purchase an extended warranty, I already know which company I am going with. And that is continental warranty. I had them with my M and they were on point everytime I had to take my car in to the shop for any repairs. Everything was handled professionally with no problems.

I saw a sign at Hendrick BMW in Charlotte that they will only honor the "original" BMW extended warranty through BMW?? or the Hendrick Extended warranty. No others will be excepted at that dealership.
Btw, that dealership has great service. |

I'd do the extended warranty. Keep in mind there's a $50 deductable each time you bring it in under the extended plan.
As for the extended maintenance, don't waste your money. |

+1 Great points. Due to mine previous vehicle was overheated at 44k miles. I have been thinking of the extended warranty. Stealer quotes me ~$2200 now with a requirements of having a pre-inspection reports from service department. It probably cost another couple of hundred bucks. |

Just make sure you don't get "EasyCare" package. Apparently BMW of Bellevue here offers it, and I bought it for around $1,800. At first the lady told me that all I need to do is pay $100 deductible, but when I took my car in for the first repair work I was charged a lot more since EasyCare only covers the labor costs according to their own labor hour book, instead of using the same book all BMW dealerships refer to. I was like wtf.

If true, that's not cool. I mean, the car's been under the BMW warranty and maintenance for 50 miles or 4 years, so why would they need a pre-inspection report? Or is that just a report saying that the owner has had all the scheduled maintenance? Just seems like a possible way for BMWNA to try and refuse to issue a warranty. |
