After about 6 years (since September 2011) ownership of different high end BMW, if my cars did not have warranty (obviously they had because they all were brand new), I would pay over 30k out of packet because of issues they had and I had dealer fixed under warranty; so I will never get ANY USED BMW without warranty but to each his own  |
I totally agree with you. I am coming from an e92 335i. I bought the car new and once the warranty expired I had an option to extend it to 100k miles for around $3500.
Now I understand we are not talking about an M car here (M cars will have a higher repair bill, hence why I agree with you about having a warranty for peace fo mind). Luckily I have connections to a mechanics shop and knew I would not have to pay for labor if anything happened to my car. From 50,000-120,000 miles I only spent around $3000 on parts. It was a good idea to skip out on the warranty for me.
The main thing I want to get out of this thread is what major repairs people have done so I can get a good idea if I should skip out on the warranty or cough up the extra $5000+.
