Also, the driving habit makes a big difference, shorten the life of the parts. the tune makes the parts doing excessive work, so i admit i have to pay for the engine parts. But somehow it has electrical short circuit, it has nothing to do with the mod or tune. Warranty because the owner doesn't have to think about what is the issue, just let the dealer handle the problem and return the car in a drive-able condition. there are minor issues after certain mileages, probably you would say if you are driving the m car, you can afford the repair and maintenance cost.

been burned on previous M's and bmw's beyond warranty period. I use to joke that every component besides the engine in my E38 was designed to fail post warranty .
ended up buying 3rd party ext warranty that dealer offered for both my m3 and x5m . no deductible and serviced by the same bmw dealership.

I have a 2012 X5M and have had several things go wrong, but I love the car. I just bought it off our lease and got the extended warranty. I would NEVER own an M car without a warranty.
I have had the AC replaced for smelling like bandaids when it was running I had the rear Differential replaced under warranty as it was leaking in 2015 just before I bought it off our lease. I had the valves replaced two weeks ago as they were kicking off errors in addition to various hoses that were starting to fail. Car just went into Limp mode today which means she's going in again to see whats amis. I think it's left over issues from the valve replacement. Amazing car, will own it for a long time even though there are issues! Currently 35K miles on it. -Shroom |

If you don't mind sharing - what was the price and terms of the factory BMW extended warranty?

Because I assume they are going to be doing the work - they will honor (you would hope) any aftermarket that they sell to you. |

More issues.
I have the high battery drain going on. they could not figure it out and needed me to go back to stock (car is coded) and yesterday I touched the rear door handle it was hot/warm to the touch. My comfort access was not working on that side too. after some research I believe this handle is causing the battery drain (other bmws with CA has had problems with battery drain and the hot handle), they will need to replace the handle and maybe a module. I am going to push for 4 news handle and a new battery. Also my starter was replaced for the grinding sound it made on really cold starts (the new starter is smoother than before) I posted about this before and other have noticed this issue. Carchex has given me a policy with a electronic rider quote for 3 years 30k Miles at $3200 with a $100 detectable. I think this is very reasonable. anyone with experience? I like the piece of mind But even with this.... I love this car, it is hands down worth it with all of its faults. And I pay 1300 a month but when you drive it, worth every penny

I bought an extended warranty through USAA (Assuant) when I financed my X5M with USAA. $4k but it already had 60k miles (2011). 3yr, 36k miles. I had a claim a couple weeks ago (2 months after I bought the truck). My local dealer did the work and handled everything with Assurant. I didn't lift a finger and they covered everything. It was a leaking fuel supply line. Getting a gas smell in the car on startup. Total cost was about $900. $3,100 to go to BE. Truck has original injectors.
When I was considering the warranty with USAA I called assurant to get copies of the policy and a retail quote. They wanted $6,500. I told him my USAA price and he said he couldn't touch it. |

Hello All,
I know there has been a lot of back and forth regarding warranty/service contracts on this thread and this is specifically pertaining to best options for service contracts from third-party providers and not BMW. I see USAA above, but could you advise on the below. I am purchasing a 2010 X5M with 37,750 miles - out of warranty - and wanted to inquire if anyone has advice regarding current service contracts that are available and/or your experience with such. Endurance.com has a exclusionary plan; however, they only cover 'breakdowns' full failure of a part and only pay the national labor rates which are in most cases lower than any BMW Service Department. They are offering a 3 year/22,500 mile extension. Warranty Direct offers a exclusionary plan as well, for a bit more money, matches the posted labor rate, and covers wear and tear; however, has a HORRIBLE online user reviews rating, which is causing some major hesitation. Direct options from Dealers include: WarrantySolutions and EasyCare which are both almost double the price of the Endurance/Warranty Direct options and are both INCLUSIVE warranty's which also causes concern. Triple AAA through Autoguard wants over $6k for their exclusionary plan. I thought I had my mind made up on one; but now with so many pros and cons to each, I'm not so sure anymore. Any real experience or advice regarding any of the above plans or ones not listed would be really appreciated! Thank you all! |

If anyone has first hand experience with any 3P Warranty companies besides USAA, I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks! |

Otherwise, USAA products are pretty good. And the BMW discounts don't hurt either! |

I just got a quote from USAA (I have just under 13k miles).
72 months from purchase date or at 75,000 miles on odometer = $2,932.00. Does that sounds reasonable? I still have 2yrs left on factory warranty. |

In my case it would cost be about $2125 a year for 4 more years of additional coverage up to 100k with USAA. I was only given one option with USAA. |
