Extended Warranty

[fheatl]

I own a 2002 X5 3.0 with 36K miles. The factory warranty expires in July and I am considering an extented warranty from Warranty Direct. I will probbaly keep the X5 for 2 more years and might average about 15k miles per year.

Any thoughts/opinions about Warranty Direct? What problems have fellow 2002 X5 3.0 owners experienced between 35K and 70k miles?

Thanks...

Are you the original owner? If yes, have you considered getting the BMW extended warranty? A good deal can be found at BMW of Macon... Send Rob_ a PM for details...

I would definately go with the factory warranty over a 3rd party...Even if you are not the original owner, I think BMW can CPO the X5 and extend the warranty...It will not be cheap...but worth it.

Nice to see you back posting Philip, where have you been? Busy at work?

I have been traveling a lot...picked up another hobby (RC airplanes) so both of those have utilized my time. I missed you guys...so I figured I would get back on here and get caught up.

I asked my BMW dealer if they would sell me a factory warranty and they said the only way the would sell warranty is after market "the sell a policy from a company called TechServ"?? how can your BMW sell you a CPO warranty on an existing car that you own?

I am not the original owner. My understanding BMW will only extend the warranty to the original owner. If non-original owners in this forum were able to do it, then please tell me how.

Thanks...
