Any "extended" plans worth considering at purchase time?

turbocharger · 04-12-2024, 02:19 AM

Waiting for my M60i (week 18) and started researching a bit on warranty/service. It's my 1st bimmer and I plan to keep it for years. Finance people will almost certainly try to sell a bunch of (overpriced) extended service/warranty plans when I pick up the car. I know new BMWs come with 3yr maintenance/4yr warranty, so I'm mainly considering extended warranty beyond 4 yrs. Want to get some thoughts from this forum - Is there any plan that *might* worth considering if the price is reasonable, or should I always decline all extra stuff at the purchase time & just shop elsewhere later before 4yr mark?

Many thanks!

Hey partner, there are tons of good posts on this topic on this forums. Many members here have shared their experiences with various options and some have even posted name/emails of who are selling reasonable discounted warranties. Recommend a quick look/search around and you will be more than satisfied with what you find.

No need to buy the maintenance plan now especially for something after year 3. Come back after your 3 years and then decide. There are those who sell those extended warranties at a discount, just search the forum.
