BMW Tire & Wheel Protection? - did the search!

[BGM]

I just found another screw in my right rear tire over the weekend. So, that's 3 tires at $500 a piece in the 9 days I have had driven it. I paid $1000 for the tire protection plan and I also bought the Extended Maintenance since the brakes on these get worn quickly--that was $2400 so it was $3400 total for both plans--that added only like $65 a month to my payment over 60 months.

It can't be more than $1200 annually for a wheel/tire protection plan! NYC for sure has some of the worst roads in the country and my plan was $1900 for 5 ys of coverage. Only way your quotes make sense is if you drive ALOT and they quoted price based on annual mileage, as well as location.

Did you inquire about extended warranty coverage as well and received an "all-in" price for the multiple warranty coverages?

I was actually in the process of signing it, and casually asked if the four-figure number was a "one-time payment" until he said "oh - no, that's what your monthly payment will be."

This of course included the car payment + wheel & tire protection but it was outrageous. it would have been around $5K over the life of the car. I'll take my chances.

Just pulled the trigger finally on a W&T Pack Warranty from East Bay BMW/Hendrick on special for $599 out the door, normal price $899.

Includes 3yr or $2k on tires & 3yr or 4-5k on wheels.

What does this mean you only get 3 years of coverage and only up to $2K in tire replacements ?

Is that a BMW warranty, or hendricks own 'in house' plan they offer?

The contract I have is 5 years and there is no limitation on dollar amount used. It's a BMW warranty.

It's Hendrick's own in house plan as my truck is used. You can only purchase the true BMW W&T at the time of a new purchase. I figure $599 gets me a full set of tires mounted and balanced.

It is a Road Hazard plan, not a wear warranty. Wouldn't you have to drive over a spike belt a few times (to make sure they aren't repairable) to get a full set of tires mounted and balanced?

No any screw/nail and they simply replace the tire. Maybe if they weren't RFT's they might and try to repair the tire.

Sorry, I don't understand. You posted that for $599 you get a full set of tires, mounted and balanced. For that to come to pass you would have to get four flats in your runflat tires.

Even if that happened, I don't understand why they wouldn't repair the RFTs per the manufacturer's instructions.
