Warranty about to end
I got '17 X5M and nearing 49.5k miles.
The car has had nothing but regular service, not a single mechanical breakdown. I'm no mechanic but I've checked for leaks - didn't see any. No warning lights, nothing. The car still drives the same way as before. Before I enter the out-of-warranty world, should I bring the car in for a check-up at our local dealer? If so, what should I have them check? Thanks! |

Not to hijack, but what is the average for an extended warranty and is there a time to pull the trigger? Any price breaks for a CPO vs a non CPO purchase?
i am going to be in the market soon and wanted to see whats out there. Sorry OP. |

I'd look into getting a quote from warranty like Fidelity or such big comapnies Also you can ask your service adviser what companies they have had good experience with and get quotes from them too |

I had warranty to 6 years/120K (Km) on a 2013 X6M... that warranty expired Dec 19...Nothing was needed during the two years extended warranty....
The only thing to fail in the period since, a month ago was my rear air bags... replaced with Arnott’s... total 400 Canadian dollars installed (pair)... It’s a very subjective area.... Extended warranty. We picked up a new X3 M40i.... added two years extra again....And will probably wish I had not bothered... Time will tell... |

Yeah, it really is a crapshoot. I have a CPO warranty plus an extended warranty through MB on my 14 C63 Edition 507. I haven't used it once in three years. On my 15 F86 (23,600 miles), I have an extended warranty and have had a little over $6,000 in repairs done in the 9 months (about 3,000 miles driven) I've owned it. I've only paid about $600 of that amount in deductibles and tax. I've now had more repairs paid for then I paid for my warranty and the warranty has 3 years and 3 months left on it. So, for my F86, it was well worth it.
