Where to buy extended warranty

I live in the SF Bay area and my 2001 530i warranty is set to expire on 02/19/05. I only have 30k on the car and think its a wise investment to get the extended warranty. Any ideas on cost and where to get it? Any input would be appreciated. [thumb]

mytan,

I just turned in my leased 02 540 (extremely reluctantly) Mine had 48k miles and while researching the possibility of buying it out at the end of teh lease, was advised by both my BMW dealer and BMW Financial that the cost would be approximately $3,200.00 and that they would have needed to inspect the car for the extension of the warranty to 60k miles. I turned the car in and leased an 05 545.

Hope this helps.

I was offered the Extended Warranty right before mine expired. As I remember it's about $550. Seeing that you have very few miles on your car, I don't think it's worth it.

However you can buy the warranty anytime up until your existing warranty expires.

[bmwdance] Thanks for all the reply's.
I decided on a plan from Warranty Direct. I checked them all and Warranty Direct seemed the best. They are a stable company and thier coverage is pretty comprehensive. I chose a 4/50000 mile plan with $0 deductible. Cost was $1894.00. The dealer was $2600.00 for a 3/36000 GE warranty and with a $100.00 deductible.

Im looking forward to more years with my 2001 530i As of today she now has 30150 miles. I need to drive it more.[bmwdance]
