Mr BMW -- wow that is a good deal...

What is the name of the company? Is the warranty transferrable if i sell the vehicle in the future? And like Daka asked, what have you had done that they covered?

Thanks!

There was a story about this company in the local media...about them being a scam.

I just did a quick google and found this thread about Dealer Warranty Services - same company mentioned by mrbmwx5. The link was third from the top of my search results so easy to find and I just randomly picked it:

Read it through as it's only 2 pages. You'll find links in the thread about FTC and attorney general cracking down on several companies - including Dealer Warranty Services. May be a legit company but they have a lot of issues and questionable practices. Decide for yourself. Me ... I'll pass.

Would you be able to buy an extended warranty from BMW? I've been wondering also, would they CPO a car that someone wants to buyout at lease end? Wondering that about my coupe as I expect it will probably only have about 20k miles on it when my 36 month lease expires. Midas well keep it for $24k right? Maybe negotiate a lower buyout price than listed on my lease would be cool too.

you can never go wrong with Warranty Direct, a lot of threads about it...

in fact, im bringing my X to the dealer next week, should i be worried about the bill? no no no... WD got my back....

Used my warranty 4 times now, close to $7K total, how much did i pay at the dealer? 4 x $50 (deductible), you do the math

WD maybe a bit expensive compared to some other companies, but they have this plan where you can pay the amount in 10 months, which i did...
