shoping for BMW X5 35i extended warranty
I got something really weired when shopping for a platinum 72M/75K warranty for my 2015 X5 35i xDrive (almost 4-year old, with 28k miles). I called a dealer last month, and the guy on the phone just asked my model (X5 35i xdrive) and gave me $4799 quote for BMW Platinum 72M/75K warranty, which is exactly the same as P1et's "MSRP" numbers in another post (https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1448311&page=3).
Then I got busy and didn't do it until this month (my X5's warranty expires this month). This morning I called several dealers, suddenly they all quoted me $5799 for the same 72M/75k Platinum warranty ... and oddly everyone on the phone says that the previous $4799 quote must be a mistake ... What's going on? I can think of five possible explanations: 1. The $4799 quote was a mistake (but it does matches P1et's number exactly ...); 2. The $5799 quotes are all obtained by entering my VIN. So there is something about my particular car that raises the warranty premium (e.g., 28k low mileage, or having a minor accident with rear bumper replaced)? 3. BMW extended warranty has a different price if you purchase in the same month as original warranty expires (if so, shame on BMW); 4. BMW extended warranty price was raised very recently (I should've pulled the trigger last month) 5. All dealers I called today coincidentally added $1000 profit on top of $4799 MSRP at the same time? I'm very confused. Anyone here can confirm what's MSRP for platinum 72M/75k miles for a 2015 BMW X5 35i xDrive? Should it really be $5799 instead of $4799 right now? Also, any 3rd-party warranty to recommend? Last edited by echostate; 11-12-2018 at 09:08 PM.. |

Here is the quote I received for my 2016
“$6000.00 84MO/100K FROM ISD” That was in May 2018 and I had around 24k miles on it. |

Your price is largely on par with P1et's post as well as the first quote I got last month. The new quotes I got today are all insane --- $5799 for 72MO/75K is nuts ...

Yon can try to get a quote now. Maybe the price has raised ... I read in another post of similar story (warranty price increased in a few months time)
I’m hoping to get in touch with the guy who originally gave me the $4799 quote to verify what’s going on. |

I’ll send him an email and see where we are at. My mileage has went up significantly so that’ll fudge the results a bit.
Good luck though, it’s a tough call. |

Just want to report back on what happened next: 1. Finally get hold of the dealer I originally contacted last month -- and they still honor the $4799 quote for platinum 72month/75k miles. I believe this is the "MSRP" price. Obviously all other dealers in my area are just ripping people off on warranty pricing (MSRP + 1000 is just insane). 2. Jeff Steel @ Passport BMW is great and offers very competitive pricing and relatively simple procedure if you don't mind purchasing remotely. Highly recommend.
