I have heard all the horror stories about 3rd party warranties. Well after X5 limo made me aware of things to look for. i found a great warranty company here is a copy of the contract let me know hwat you think, they have gotten a "A" on the BBB website. The coverage I got was 3yr/36Kmile with a $0 deductible for $2400. I have 99K on my X so look over the coverage part of the contract, let me know what you think. If you want coverage i can let you know the naem of the person that gave me the deal. Cause if you go through a sales rep they choose through warranty america it was over $3200. It does cover wear and tear items cause its in the contract and my sales rep told me sometimes its extra $$ but this plan has it.
