Extended Warranty Advice - 3 more years $1200 a year
I have the option of extending the bumper to bumper warranty from the factory. This is not a CPO limited liability warranty. This is covering everything except wear and tear. 7 years 70k miles $3695 (I drive less than 10k miles a year). Covers everything, even all electronics and is only offered only to new car buyers. This breaks down to extending your factory warranty for 3 more years at 1200 a year. Worth it yes or no?

It's obvious but if you're keeping it for more than 4 years then it's worth it. Even if you don't it will be a peace of mind purchase to the the owner. I think it's worth the money because one major repair will pay for the cost of the warranty. Especially since it's BMW direct and not a third party warranty outfit. Those I say no!
The air shocks(I'm assuming you're getting the adjustable ride option) alone cost about $1000 wholesale and they tend to leak in about 4~5 years. I'm also assuming that it's similar to the MB set up. If one of them go bad, it will cost you at least $3000 at the dealer. |

My brother in law owns an autoshop in south L.A. so he just charged me the wholesale cost of the unit and free labor. He basically saved me about $2k. I wasn't very happy that it went out 5 days before selling the car to come to Chile. |
