However I am concerned about the warranty of the car which expires in about two years. Made the mistake of not buying an extended warranty for the E53, which didn't need much repairs but the cost still adds up. Plus the high output turbo charged V8 does make me worry about the engine and transmission...
Mainly looking for a extended/aftermarket warranty to cover the large items like the twin turbo V8, transmission, adaptive drive, etc.
Done some research and some of the more reputable ones like Ford ESP doesn't cover M cars while they do cover X5 50i and most other BMW vehicles.
Does anyone have a recommendation on extended/aftermarket warranty for the X5M?
I know the BMW Gold Warranty is an option but was trying to see if there is another one with better coverage or better price (was hoping to find one that with good coverage and preferably backed by a large manufacture)
and btw if anyone of you bought BMW Gold/Platinum warranty, how much did you pay for it?
Thanks

I bought a 2010 CPO which brings the warranty to 100k/6 year. When I was seeking the pefect X5M to buy, I wouldn't consider one that was outside of warranty.
I agree with your mindset- after owning an E53 and having to pay out of pocket for all of the repairs, its amazing being able to drop my car off and leave my wallet at home when I go to pick it up.
I opted for the maitenance plan too, which should take care of itself after the the routine services and a set of new brakes..
