Should I get the extended Maintainence?

That was from Jeff Steel over at Passport.

No. It's a terrible idea.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Wish I had it when things broke....

It just may be. However with busted motors now being a norm (rod bearings) I have a choice: Shell out actually exactly $2.8K in labor and new bearings when warranty goes... or pay this.

I intend to sell the car within a year from when the warranty kicks in so its a piece of mind. I have had DCT problems in the past so go my money's worth already.

Are you on drugs or just reading comprehension-impaired? We're talking about maintenance. You know, the free oil change once a year and maybe some windshield wipers if you're lucky.

Warranty is a valid debate and for 2.8K I'd do it in a heartbeat, but it's more like 5.8K. Unless you're under impression that bearings would be covered under maintenance? You should be able to get a bearing swap in under 2K, you're being screwed on labor.

It seems ignorance is bliss. You clearly didnt read post 22 and From OP's post:

"Also I heard something about a CPO wrap in which adds another year of warranty, does anyone know about this as well??

On a seperate note, best quote so far is $3045 vs $3745 (retail) from Schaeffer BMW. Seven other dealers almost hung up after hearing this price. Awaiting quote from Jeff Steel at Passport.

I intend to get the CPO wrap and sell car before May 2016 (before expiration). Not doing any bearing work...The $3K in my opinion better spent in warranty as it covers my DCT and other components. This car already had a DCT failure once.

Ah, I missed that post indeed. If your car is a CPO, that's a good buy. If you bought it new and want to extend the warranty, it's a lot more expensive.

[vegaseric]

maintenance, no... warranty, yes. There are too many things that can go wrong that will cost you more to fix out-of-pocket than the cost of the warranty.

When you buy the extended warranty, don't you have to bring your car in and have them do something to the key?
