For those of you who have purchase the BMW Extended Vehicle Protection, how much did you pay for the Gold package? I got a quote from Advantage BMW of Houston (midtown) for

5 yr/ 100K miles = $2170
6 yr/ 100K miles = $2530

My car is a 2008 328i Automatic Sedan with Sport and Premium packages. Are those prices ok?

Please use the following format when you post your quotes.

• 2008 328i Sedan, AT, Sport, Prem
• Gold package 5/100
• BMW of Austin
• $1870

I bought the 6 yr / 100,000 miles BMW Extended Maintenance plan from Momentum BMW in Southwest Houston for $995.00, but that was when I bought the car brand new back in 2007.

I've heard people getting the 6yr / 100,000 mile maintenance plan for $2200.00 recently.

I have the 5yr 100k for $2,090.

Thanks for the replies. I might just email a few dealers around the country and get a price comparison. I'll post the results.

You bought maintenance - he is talking Extended Warranty which is why you paid 995 (which is a decent deal).

Please keep us updated.
My dealer just offered me a 4 year, 100,000 mile for $3,200. This is essentially a bumper to bumper warranty.
Good think I check here before going in. Your prices seem pretty good.
I still have 1 year of BMW warranty left and 26,000 miles.

Can anyone else share their rates? I'm thinking about the 5yr/100k gold warranty (I don't have nav/idrive so don't need platinum).

[Neutrino45]

I haven't had a chance to email/call around for pricing yet. I did take my car in for service yesterday at the same dealership. My service advisor wanted to sell the same 5 yr/ 100K miles Gold package to me for $2800! LOL This is at the same dealership where the finance person quoted $2170 to me 1 month ago! I forgot how much I was quoted originally so I told my SA that I would shop around then let him try to beat the lowest price. I may call him back tomorrow to have him counter the $2170 price.

I would imagine that there are different MSRPs for different models (328 vs 335, auto vs manual, etc).

To see what the MSRP for each package is, go to the dealer and ask for a service history and list of options on your car. They'll run you a 4 or 5 page documentcalled a Warranty Vehicle Inquiry which will include all of the extended mx and warranty options.

I've got a 2008 328i fully loaded. Here are the MSRPs for each option:
Maintenance:
6/100 $2095.

Extended Warranty:
Powertrain plus
5/100 $1600
6/100 $1820
7/70 $1880
7/100 $2090

Gold
5/100 $2170
6/100 $2530
7/70 $2630
7/100 $2980

Platinum
5/100 $2380
6/100 $2800
7/70 $2910
7/100 $3310

The above pricing sheet was given to me three days ago.

The Gold extended warranty is an exact carbon copy of the CPO warranty - same coverage, same deductible, etc.
I give credit to the car dealers for coming up with the CPO concept - it's a helluva marketing gimmick to fleece the public.

God forbid a business with a huge overhead make an attempt to turn a profit

I'd like to know this as well, do post your results!

I just bought a used 335i and looking to get the 7/100 Platinum as well. I think the MSRP is close to $4000 for the 335i, I'd like to know what you all ended up spending for that. Any negotiating techniques would also help

Also, I have been doing some reaching on aftermarket warranties and the best alternative I found (in California anyway) is through Ford Motor Company (Warranty Direct had too many claim issues for my liking). Fords's PremiumCare warranty plan seems to have the same coverage as BMW Platinum (if not better - they have an exclusionary policy with a short list) and I can get that for around $2500 (same 7/100). Do any of you have any experience with Ford ESP? I would like to know how easy their claim process is with BMW Dealerships...

Thanks.

5, 6 and 7 years... what are these based off of, todays date? Or original in service date, or what?

And the 70k or 100k miles.. is this from 0 miles, or the miles currently on the car?

Thanks for clarifying!

[Kruz]

Usually those years and miles are from in service date and total miles.

Correct, service date and total miles.

I just purchased a 7yrs/100k bumper to bumper for $2200.00 through LDS.

[jimk]

LDS?

[Googie]

I have a 2007 335i coupe with sport package auto. Warranty is just about up.
Car has approx 33k on it.
This is what I got quoted from bmw SA:

http://www.fidelitywarranty.com/#


3 yeay 36k

Power train $1154
Silver $1416
Gold $1496
Gold + $1748
Platinum $1952

I am not sure really what to get? I am thinking to just get the basic power train and for service etc. just bring the car somewhere else instead of bmw because they charge so much for everything. If something major goes on the car at least i am covered. I will probably only get the 3 year because who knows I might want to get something else.

Does this seem like the way to go? Any input is appreciated.

[knivez]

Bump, OP what did you end up doing?

[bobinsofla]

I'm considering an extended warranty for wifey's 2007 335i sedan with sport package. Warranty is up on time Feb next year and the car only has 30K miles.

Does anyone have the details or differences in coverage between Silver, Gold and Platinum?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, go to this link: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...rotection.aspx

Download the .pdf brochure.
You probably want to go with a 7/70 extended warranty.
