Easy Care Warrant Experience?
Does anyone here have experience with EasyCare extended warranty? Want to get it on a new car I just purchased wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them and how they are.

Expensive and have always heard good things about them. Make sure you get an exclusionary warranty though not to mention feedback from your local BMW service department

Interesting. Curious though, did you get any feedback from your local BMW service department regarding this company?

My local BMW is the one selling me the warranty and said that is the only third party warranty they sell. So I feel their opinion maybe very biased since they are the ones selling it and making the commission.

I had EasyCare on my E60 M5 back around 2010. I bought it from my BMW dealer and they were great. My car was fully modded and I never had any issues getting maintenance and repair work done. Only had to deal with my SA and they took care of everything.
I forgot how much I paid for the initial 3yrs/36K miles of coverage outside the factory warranty but I recall it was reasonable. But when that period was up, they wanted about $7200 for 2yrs/24K miles so I declined. Three months later, my rod bearings went out and I needed new engine. |

Personal thoughts are timely and meticulous maintenance should prevent major system failures, and the 7k in ones bank to address the unexpected/maintenance is a better plan. |

I already had my clutch and actuators replaced at that point and didn't really know much about rod bearing failures so I figured I'll cover any repair costs out of pocket. |

Everyone has different risk tolerances, so in the end it's personal preference. I offset my out of warranty concerns with the fact I can turn a wrench a bit and 5-7k would go a long way if I needed a shop repair or parts. Thus I would rather control my repairs. All IMO... |

So here is the update. I ended up getting the Easy Care warranty for my x5m. They gave me an extremely good price for 6 years from today up to 100k miles. I spoke to a couple of service techs at BMW and anyone that has used them has not had any issues. Also they kept stressing that if the BMW dealer is selling the third party warranty then they should be decent because they know if there are any claims they most likely will be the ones to work on the car so they wouldn't want to deal with future issues. Which I bought the warranty from the BMW dealer that sold me the car and if there are future claims I will be taking the car to them for repairs and they would deal with Easy Care.
Hopefully things go well but will update here if I ever have a claim with them and how the process goes. Now I am working with them on getting extended warranty on my f10 m5 as well. |
