Although experience matters, innovation happens, and it can be lead by just about any actor who has the means. Meaning, there is no reason why Japanese engineers can't design road going high performance engines, and they do. S2000, GTR, NSX are just some examples. I owned 2 300ZXs in the 90s, and they were very well designed cars with great engines. |

The CPO warranty that we can buy from BMW for a total 6 yr./100k miles ($50 deductible) coverage is $4,875. The also have an independent plan, Primus Care, that has the same coverage, except $100 deductible, that is about $800 less. Either can be purchased anytime the original warranty is in effect. Only reason to purchase up front is if you want to roll it into your financing, or guard against future price increases. I think the downside to that would be if the car gets stoled or totalled, I doubt insurance covers it.

Is the warranty you are reffering to the additional 2yrs/50k mile warranty you can put on top of the manufacturer warranty?
2yrs for $4,875?

Shouldn't. That should be a different plan.

How much is that plan? I'm more interested in that than my engine failing in year 5.

dealerships are usually willing to negotiate a little on these. Perhaps a group buy could stir some interest with them dropping the pricing. I usually do not keep my cars for more than 3 yrs, so it's not for me, but if you are planning on hanging on the car for well past the warranty, then it is a must. Something goes out on any Mcar, expect it to cost a lot more than Japanese auto parts.

Yeah, well, so can a GT3 cup car motor....but you rebuild those after 50 or so hours! Even though the motor can "handle" 9K, it wont last long at it!

I'm not a big believer in the extended warranty or extended maintenance plans until you are closer to the term/mileage limit. I'd rather have the money now and worry about it later.
What happens if you sell the car? Sure it can add to resale value but not that much. What happens if you wreck the car?

Extended warranties should be refundable if not used and pro-rated if within the warranty period. I have a friend who had just this happen with a different brand of automobile.
