In response to a previous thread, I asked my dealer about purchasing a Extended Warranty just before the new car warranty expires. He replied it would cost approx. $1,500.00 CDN more in today's prices then to purchase the same coverage at time of delivery. I am going to get the Ultimate from Coverage One Corporation with $200.00 Deductable. This is all inclusive with specified exclusions and is for 7 years/140,000 Km The exclusions are mainly maintaince items such as brakes, trim etc. The only electronic item excluded that I can see is the Nav System. I think with BMW, especially a new model, the service rates are too high, $90.00/Hr, and the chances of having electrical/computer breakdowns are high. This coverage is $2,627.00 CDN from the BMW dealer. They told me BMW does not offer an extended warranty with their new cars, only the Certified Series with certain used cars. I am planning on keeping the car for approx 6-7 years.
