Does anyone here knows the dealer's cost for those plans (Powertrain, Gold, Platinum)?

Route 66 warranty through various credit unions I heard was actually the GOLD plan equivalent from BMW. I asked my service manager friend and the people in billing for warranty at my dealership. They said that Route 66 is actually a very good warranty. I called to inquire about it and for a 5 year 100k( Mileage not on top of the current miles) which is currently at 48K miles. I was quoted $1975.00 for it. Exclusionary plan. Like the Gold plan from BMW. I thought it was very fair.

They have good prices, but I've never seen dealer cost exposed...

I bought an extended bumper to bumper warranty (3rd party) for my 2004 V8 E53 - best thing I ever did. Cost me $3,600 and I had over $12K in repairs in just 2 years after the factory warranty expired. Sunroof repair was about $1,200. Mechatronic module in the transmission about $4,000. When the engine needed work - eccentric shafts or something like that it was nearly $5,000. Plus other piddling things.

As I've seen some things in the X5 I have now; not related to mechanical but again the sunroof and other niggling details I'm leery of it going out of warranty. And don't get me started on the annoying rattles and creaks from the rear hatch area. That has confounded the dealer who has basically made it worse with the work they've done...I digress. I think an extended warranty is valuable if you intend on keeping the car for a while.

Also bluetooth and some other oil leak. I'm halfway to my cost. Warranty cost $3100 with $0 deductible for 4 years or when odo reaches 60k (I'm still only at 36k). I made sure it also covered the NAV and other tech-stuff.
