If you do decide to take out any form of extended waranty (in my opinion you'd be mad at this BMW price) check very carefully what IS covered. I took out a BMW extended warranty while it was still just about affordable (about £250ish)They didn't have any literature in the dealership at that time but I was told it was exactly the same as my new bike warranty except for corrosion & shocks after 30k miles. Unfortunately didn't check the document when it came but some time later decided to have a look - fek - just about everything was EXCLUDED Covered engine & gearbox & that was about it !!
Frame - Nah
Wheels - nah
Drive shaft - nah
Most of electics - nah
Anything which could have been losely termed under wear n tear - i.e. riding the fekin' thing - covered? - Nah
Don't need to go on do I......... didn't need to use the "warranty" fortunately -hardly worth the paper it was written on
Yes it does seem a rip off, even if the reason for increasing the price from previous years is valid. I'd rather put the money in a saving account and keep my fingers crossed for two or three years. £1300 - £1950 would buy a fair bit of engine work.
