I just purchased an 08 alpine white m3 convertible. E92. Don't bash I am new to this.
Car is mint only 29k miles on it. My warranty will be up in September. What do you suggest I get and at what price possible an extra 3 years full? Is it worth it? How much and should I get an aftermarket warranty at a cheaper rate or get it straight from Bmw? This is my first bmw any advice will help me out tremendously thanks! |

FYI, your car is an E93.
Just shop around for the best prices. Call Ryan at Steve Thomas BMW for a good price on a BMW one. |

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum.
I agree with THE TECH ... I would check out and price both once the warrenty expires there are quite a lot of European car shops around that will service your car at a lower rate. I never took out an extended warranty on our e28 now 25 year old 5435is that my daoughter still drives and enjoys. Perhaps if you are planning to take one out I recommend you get your car inspected at BMW with that in mind they would I am sure advise you what major work (if any) is expected down the road. Also check sites like this one here and as THE TECH pointed out shop around. One example ----->Right Here

I am sure you find one or two. Good Luck. PS another good spot to check out would be previous service records of the car you purchased. If you don;t have them at hand see if you can get hard copies from a BMW dealership (should be on there computer system for your VIN number). Speaking of VIN number ,,, check this site it is free it will give you a breakdown of all the optional equipment that is on your car. Open this site ----> Then just add the last 7 digest of your VIN Number
