Best extended warranty (50k miles on dash)

[andykx213]

Might buy my first M3 (2013) with 55k mi. What's the best overall extended warranty that covers common issues (actuators, rod bearing, AC evaporator, etc.)? I'm located in Las Vegas..

And do I just call before I go to the dealership and have them add the warranty into my loan? Sorry, I've never bought extended warranty before lol

Not sure which one is best but be sure to negotiate the price of the warranty just as you would the price of the car. Even if it’s a “one price store” the price of the warranty is negotiable.

Oh ok. And if I bought an extended warranty after I purchased the car, do they usually do installment plans for the warranty?

If your going the extended warranty route, through the dealership it will be wrapped into the loan. After sale, depends on the company.

My credit union said I could buy an extended warranty at any time. But, if it wasn't included with the car loan then I would need to pay cash for it.

I got Easycare through the BMW dealer, in Henderson, I bought the car from. It was $2600 for 4 years/48000 miles. It's paid itself out about three times by now. Most likely, the dealer will try selling a warranty, even if you don't mention it. Also, at first, they tried selling me the warranty for $3600, but came down $1000, supposedly giving me a manager's discount.

I've had a good experience with Fidelity warranty services

You may find that some warranty providers aren't providing new warranties for m3's anymore

Can an Easycare policy be added after purchase privately?

As for as I know most warranties don't cover rod bearings unless there has been a failure...not sure if that is a gamble to take.

I was only able to get Route 66 First Street for my 2010. I will probably just cancel it and take the $ back and put it into repair fund.

The only third party warranty companies (non Credit Union and dealer supplied) from all the ones I inquired into that seemed worth was Concord Auto Protection. Delta was promising WAAAY too many perks and seemed too good to be true...plus the rep was pushing as hell.

No warranty is going is going to pay for rod bearing replacement (as preventive maintenance), not to start a war but the mechanic I have used for the last 20 years refused to do the job unless I had over 100k miles....even after showing him all the threads. Told me to chill out and drive the car

I imagine you will need to have a strong maintenance history before a company shells out 15-25k for a new motor.
