2011 M3 Extended Warranty

airwave808 · 06-03-2011, 08:43 PM

As some of you may know that I am getting a MCB E92 this August. I want your opinion / suggestion on the BMW extended warranty. Basically, I can get 2 additional years and 120,000 kms on top of standard 4 year / 80,000 km warranty for $6,000 even. I will be owning the car as oppose to leasing and plan to keep it for at least for 6-7 years (2018). I have attached the pdf showing rate chart for each model

As far as mods are concerned, I am only planning to upgrade the exhaust and possibly Dinan carbon fiber intake. It is a pity that for M models it is a lot more and only for 6 years as oppose to 7 years. Do you think it is worth it?

How many kms do you plan on driving? And only by the right amount of kms. The lower the kms you can reduce costs.

That's way too much for just 2yrs extra.

I would wait until just before your warranty expires... You never know what could happen between now and then that would put you in a position to negotiate a free extended warranty!

usually the cost of the warranty will go up after 30000km i think

My quote went up significantly after 12 months of ownership, iirc.

Don't we all say we're going to keep our cars 7-10 years and end up changing things up way sooner? I know that'll probably be the case for me!

$6000 for an extended 2 yr/200,000 km warranty seems crazy high. I recently added a 2 yr/120,000 BMW warranty ( when I bought my 2010 used) for under $2000. If you have a choice and don't think you'll drive more than 20K a year, I'd check out prices for the 2yr/120k option !!

I think you are right. The premium is being charged because it is a "BMW" warranty as oppose to third party. I was in the U.S. before and third party companies are horrible to deal with. They always come up with a way in order to avoid paying. If you had a good experience in Canada, can you tell me the name of the company from which you got 2 yr / 120,000 kms?

Thats ridiculous... i would definitely wait. You can also shop around and buy the extended warranty from ANY BMW dealer and it's honored at any dealership.

The warranty I added was the BMW CPO warranty through a dealer on the easy coast...an extra 2 yrs or 120,000 km for under $2000.
