I assume it's necessary for performance-based vehicles

It's like friggin insurance. They love you when you hand them a check every year but when it comes time to make a claim - they make you jump through hoops!
Well...just as i've been researching, Warranty Direct have become tighter than 5 virgins in a Volkswagen. They claim you can take the X to any repair facility of your choice but debate the dealer over their labor rates and are only paying a portion of labor. They're also fussing about a water-cooled alternator from Napa Auto as opposed to one that is BMW-backed. The dealer refuses to install anything that is non-BMW so it looks like i'll be $1,800 out of pocket

Needless to say, i'm not too happy with my 3rd party warranty company. At first, repairs were never questioned but now, i assume they're tightening-up wherever they can to cut costs.
