Extended Warranty from Dealer
Late last year I bought 2018 BMW X5 xDrive40e. I opted for the extended warranty offered by the dealer. I got the 10 year 100k miles extended warranty from DOWC for $3300.
I plan to keep the car for more than 5 years. Are these third-party warranties worth the money? |

You paid $4K to add 5yr/75K miles to the original BMW warranty?

That’s the going rate , that’s actually a real good price as other people have payed even more, I’m also sure that being a 50i has a higher premium cause that engine costs lots $$$$$ if it has to be replaced.

My dealer today quoted $7K for 84 months or 80K miles for the BMW platinum plan. Gold was a few hundred less.
I drive a 2015 X5 with 38K miles and do not plan to trade for another BMW.

I just a quote from my local SoCal / OC dealer.
4 years / 75K / Platinum coverage = $4799. Mechanical breakdown protection from the credit union is 50% less. |

It's clear BMW has not interested in selling extended warranties, and is pushing us punters in either leasing BMWs, or simply trading them in after the OEM warranty has expired.

I am going back to the dealer who sold me an extended warranty in 2012 for my 2008 X5, but am told that the rules have changed and now they will not sell to someone who is not "local" (CA vs OK).

Yes it is a third-party extended warranty from DOWC. This is my first BMW and I want to know:
1. Do I need to get an extended warranty at all? 2. Are third-party extended warranties good with claims? Thanks. |

I just need a clear landing to take another run at this and see where it lands.
