If your on the fence, it might be well worth the investment.
Yeah, the BMW extended warranties are a must have. They will almost always pay for themselves.

However, those after market warranties, the ones that are sold to you after your factory AND extended warranties expire, are BS. I have one of those from Direct Choice and they haven't covered anything yet.
