Extended Warranty = what company and anyone have this one?

I am considering a purchase of a 2012 35i - and I am researching Extended Warranties. Mostly bad reviews and I know EXTENDED warranties outside of BMW are not the greatest.

One I am considering is called Cars Protection Plus. You can only purchase it through a dealer and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ RATING. They have been in business since 1998 as well.

But the google reviews are terrible. There are 5 different packages and I am sure some people bought the lower packages and things werent covered so they will complain.

Wondering if anyone here on our Forum has this companies Extended Warranty and could provide some details about their experience?

I have Route 66 and I'm not really happy with it. They don't cover hoses or gaskets and only paid for half of my water pump. After over $5000 of work, they covered $400.

That is terrible.

Kind of explains why Route 66 no longer covers BMW X5's!
I called them for a quote and they no longer will cover any X series.

That doesn't sound any good.

Did you get a lower level warranty from them? I don't know their warranties much but a good friend of mine who's on this forum and may chime in, has Route 66 and they've covered a ton of stuff on his 50i.

Here's what's covered. It was included in my loan through the credit union, it was only a little over $2,000 but was all they seemed to offer at the time.

Was your Credit Union PenFed? Someone told me the Credit Unions and Route 66 always work with each other.

In any case as I mentioned Route 66 wont cover any X5's anymore.

Wasn't penfed, that's odd that they don't cover them anymore... must have been recent since I got my car in March.

I currently have Route 66 and they've been unbelievable with the coverage. (Bushings replaced, oil leak - gasket, thigh support motor, shaft sensor) I also had my water pump fail (no surprise) and they covered the entire thing less fluid etc. All work done @ dealership too.

That sounds awesome. My credit union rep recommended them and we called and they said X5's are now banned from any future coverage. 100% out.
Sounds like they were taking a beating from the cost. Yours was probably a perfect case = = glad it worked out for you!

The plan that some of us bought a few years ago was the easy street exclusionary plan (lists items not covered, and is even better than the BMW platinum plan). Already paid for itself (covered 100% of leaky valve cover gaskets, leaky turbo coolant lines failed and oil level sensor, all done at my BMW dealer).

Yours is the first street plan, and it’s an inclusionary plan (meaning only items in the list are covered). I’m afraid you didn’t do your due diligence and paid $$ for a very limited plan. Route 66s stopped offering the easy street for X’s sometime in 2016. They’re covering what’s in the contract, so throwing shade at them is unwarranted IMO.

I’ve heard good accounts about CNA, some forum members have it. Contact @jiggz - he might be able to provide some leads.

I got a quote from Endurance, $226 for the first 30 days, then $179/month for 24 months. total coveage is for 5 years/75,000 miles pretty much bumper to bumper except for brakes, steering, suspension, etc.

I guess you can cencel also and it is tranferable to.

How many miles do you currently have on your X5?
Is that considered their best package?

My quote is $2400.00 - 4 years unlimited miles.
Apparently covers everything besides tires, brakes, rotors, etc.

I just picked up an '12 X5M and am looking for the same thing.

From all the reading I've done (which mostly just seems like horror stories ) I will be looking into:

USAA
CarChex
EasyCare

Also through all the reading, doesn't seem like there is a right answer -- and with each one your mileage may vary...see what I did there?

CarChex does seem to have a very good coverage and a better rep than others. But it can be very pricey, as are most.

CNA as others have stated here seems to be great but you need to get it through a dealer.

USAA - not sure if they are still covering the X5?

Route 66 which some members have the coverage (different levels) seemed to be strong on the highest coverage but they have dropped the X5.

Good luck and let us know what you decide.

It is the only package for the X5 they offer. I have 80k on a 2012.

I've always wondered if an extended warranty was worth the $$. It's too bad Route 66 stopped covering the X5, but I don't blame them.

i received redshield insurance through the dealer i got my x6m at, so far they've replaced a oil pressure switch that was leaking, the exclusionary warranty was 4000 for 24k miles, 2 years.

haven't had any warranty calls other than that, but they seemed pretty straightforward.

I read alot of bad reviews with one of carchex warranty companies "American Autoshield" and that was the only one carchex offered me, since carchex is a warranty broker.

in the past, endurance has always done me solid 100% as long as you get the exclusionary warranty.

USAA is getting out of the warranty business and doesn't write any new polices.
Route 66 doesn't cover the X5 at all.
CNA I don't know anything about them.
