Extended BMW warranty contact?
I see Christine from Steve Thomas BMW mentioned a lot. However looks like she no longer works there.
Is there other reasonable / competitive pricing dealer info to recommend? Email / phone number will be great! For BMW contract only not interested in 3rd part ones. Thanks |

I had great experience with Daniel Kim from Passport BMW 2 months ago with very aggressive pricing on 84 month Platinum. You can find his info in many posts on this forum - worth obtaining a quote.

She still works there the last I heard but there is a new contact for them since various folks can now process them
While I recommend not getting one, I shopped around a few years ago for pricing and these three were the lowest and they continue to offer great pricing. Daniel Kim at dkim@saffordauto.com, Jeff Steel at jeff.steel@passportauto.com and the staff from GOLFFRR 's place at vipfinance@bmwofcamarillo.com

After a few days, and with GOLFRR's help, I received a quote from the VIPFinance email..(thanks, G!).
In March, BMW changed the name of the place from ESC (Extended Service Contract) to VSC (Vehicle Service Contracts). The VSC (like the ESC) are ONLY for vehicles that are still currently covered by the original BMW 4yr/50k mile warranty. They will extend out from the original in-service date to a total of 7yrs (84 months), 100k miles. Unlike the ESC, the VSC only offers Platinum or Powertrain plans (the ESC also offered 'Gold'). These contracts are 'sponsored' through BMW Financial Service (so you can see what marketing material there is by the BMWUSA website, then under Financial Services. With my VIN and mileage, I received several quotes for an additional 1-3 years, 60-100k miles. I drive approx.. 1k/month...so will look hard at the 84 month/85k plan (approx. $5500). I've gone through the contract (unlike the ESC, there is not a 'pretty' marketing slip sheet out for the VSC yet)....and I have some concerns. The VSC specifically excludes (Sec 5.P) 'lenses, lights, laser lighting, sealed beams', as well as any hoses not specifically covered (and I saw none specifically covered). Headlights are $6k a pop - not a set. That's a big nut and something I specifically wanted covered...that I need to ask about. Also - there is 'zero' mention (either as a covered or excluded item) of the 'infotainment' system - aka IDrive. Also, the word 'sunroof' is nowhere to be found - and if they consider it a 'flexible body panel', then it's excluded (and mine was just replaced for the dreaded leak). Again, questions I need to ask. I want to keep this car 10yr+...but if we're missing headlights, a sunroof and whatever else I'm missing...not sure if it's worth the $$ As always, appreciate your thoughts! |

When they replaced one of my headlights a few months back due to a very minor fender bender, I saw the $6000 headlight charge and I thought they were replacing both just so that they would match. Little did I know 6000 was for just one. |

Let me know if you don’t hear back so I can follow up for you. Just send me a PM with your email address. Also they don’t work Sundays. Saturday gets pretty hectic for sure but I can still hopefully get it dialed in for you by the end of the day

The tech who worked on my X5 said the air suspensions have a very highly likelihood of failure…they get micro leaks that are often detected very late. The dealer did a recalibration and the ride itself has improved. |

A couple questions.
Can you not get the coverage after factory warranty has ended? What if you're under CPO warranty? Seems like you should be able to. Is the max coverage 84 months from in-service, or 84 months from the date of purchase? 3 years more (or 2 years on a CPO) is basically nothing. |

Their coverage is always from in-service date. The length of coverage and cost is why most folks recommend skipping them.

There are some third party products that will offer longer contracts lasting quote a few years from the purchase date of the extended warranty. This thread has a lot of discussion on extended warranties and a number of companies are talked about, especially that last 10 pages or so. https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1689243

Honestly I think Turtleboy is right. I sprang for an extended warranty for peace of mind. I could easily afford any repair on the car…but the idea of a >$5k repair is unsettling. And FWIW these cars are so complex that there are just many things that can go wrong. If there’s any car (short of an Italian one or perhaps a modern German electric) where an extended warranty may pay for itself…think it’s this one. Hot Vee ? BMW V8 valve seals? Main bearings? VANOS? Differential failure?
Personally I went with Fidelity Platinum which is an exclusionary policy from a well reputed provider. My service advisor said Fidelity has been great to his customers. Coverage ran me under $900 a year for 7 years and 70k from the policy purchase date. I can live with that. All said though Turtleboy is still right… X |

I'm basically at this point.where my CPO runs out in 2 years, and I'm gonna either want to buy some sort of coverage for this thing or I plan my exit strategy on it. |
