I already got approved at a local credit union for 2.64% so happy about that. |
No one will replace rod bearings unless there are signs that they are failing. I went with 75k and $150 deductible warranty for $2200 something. Pretty cheap IMO but 100k was like $3600, which I suppose is still reasonable. My car is a loaded 2012 E92 with 35k miles and Carmax price was $39k. Your car looks like it has less wear but mine is not bad at all.
I won't replace RBs until sometime after 50k and at 75k I'm happy to take over the overall risk. The way I understand the warranty is that you can take it directly to BMW after the 30 day initial warranty is up. If there are big ticket repairs, Carmax will send out someone to approve the costs. At least that's what I've read of people's experiences on BMW forums.
Oh, and have them remove the rear sticker when you pick up it. They'll do that.
