Hi guys,

My 2009 x5 35d is fast approaching 40,000 miles which would put it out of the new vehicle protection warranty, even though I've had it less than 3 years.

I'm looking at two plans BMW offer to extend what the new vehicle currently offers ...

BMW extended protection (extending to a total of 5,6 or 7 yrs/100,000) - Powertrain plus, gold, platinum. Covering repairs (depending on level) performed at an authorized BMW repair facility. $50 deductible.

BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade - - additional 2 years/50,000 miles. Covering all factory-recommended maintenance and specific items requiring replacement due to normal wear and tear at no charge.

Looks like the maintenance costs $2495 for the x5 35d. Does that sound like good value?

For the extended protection, not sure how much that costs.

Anyone got any feedback, or experience with both or either of these programs?

Thanks.
