Found a decent aftermarket warranty

[lx4life]

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.

I can tell by the font you copied and pasted that we share the same warranty. I paid $2800 though with a $100 deductible. They had a special when I bought it in May 2007 so I got 4 years and an additional 60k miles on my 01 that had 68,500.

Also included was the wear and tear option (a part doesnt have to be completely failed in order to be replaced) and also the emissions coverage as well.

I must say that this warranty has paid for itself already in repairs. I dont think BMW service centers will honor it though because they dont pay out alot of money for the repairs. But my indie mechanic accepts it just fine.

The two window regulators I had replaced alone at BMW wouldve run $1400. I had a myriad of other things repaired as well. Below are some of the thing covered under my contract.



“PLATINUM” COVERAGE

the following): (10) COOLING

. Radiator; fan & fan clutch. Wear & Tear. (11) FUEL DELIVERY. Fuel injectors; fuel pumps;
fuel lines; fuel tank; pressure regulator. Wear & Tear. (12) SEALS, SEALING BOOTS & GASKETS. For the components/parts
listed above. (13) AUDIO CENTER. Vehicle manufacturer installed (in dash) entertainment chassis modules including radios,

magnetic tape players/recorders, compact disc players, graphic equalizers.

EMISSIONS Package:

If you selected and paid an additional charge for the Emissions coverage as shown on your contract
declaration page, the following components of your vehicle will be covered under this contract: Air Fuel Ratio Sensor, Air Induction
System, Air Pump, Anti-Knock Sensor, Barometric Pressure Sensor, Canister Purge Solenoid, Deceleration Valve, EGR Recirculation

Oh, for those who are looking/considering, it was smartautowarranty.com by way of Carchex.com. At least mine was.

Whats the best warranty offered in Canada for the X5?

[lx4life]

My warranty is warranty america and it looks exactly the same, so its paid off so far thats good to hear at least.

Nice!!!!

My axle shafts weren't covered on my extended warranty. That's about the only thing that's worn on my X. I've got about another 8,000 miles before my warranty expires. I may need to re-up with this one in a couple months.

PM me with the contact info. Please!!!

[lx4life]

Just incase anyone needed his info great prices and service I bought my Denali warranty through him also.
