These people are a minority. That is a simple fact. Warranty companies are not in the business of paying out more money than they make.

Here is how i see it: the warranty companies are using some statistics for the model (X5 in our case generally). I dont believe they will have statistics for each trim or engine installed. So if you look at this forum you will see that if you have 07-10 3.0i the worst could happen is the water pump to fail or some sensor here and there. Contrary, 4.8i is a German horror story. Both will cancel in the statistics and the risk will be acceptable for the company. In reality, if i buy 3.0i i will not purchase extended warranty, but if I am buying 4.8i I will definitely get warranty.
