Hey everyone. I've been in the market for a luxury performance sedan for quite some time now and I think I've decided I'd like an E39 540i with the 6 speed. I've got around $17.5k to spend and I've seen quite a few in the auto trader with 60k+ miles for that price, granted they're all over 1000 miles away. It seems like that'd be the best bang for my buck.

If I do purchase one of these, I'm going to purchase an aftermarket warranty along with it. I know nothing about these except what the brochure from my credit union tells me. I'd like to get the best one available so hopefully you guys can tell me which companies are good and which to avoid.

About the car. At what mileage do things start to fail? I know it matters alot on the maintainence and such, but things like electronics and stuff. I'm pretty sure aftermarket warranties won't cover most of the BMW luxury electronics, right? So how many miles is too many?

Thanks guys!
