Awesome you got this addressed. Just be aware the credit to principal can take 6-8 weeks supposedly. Your monthly payments will also not change until you refi at the updated principal amount. PITA but you'll likely be shopping rates anyways as soon as they start coming down again.

I am about to do the same with my $4k warranty.

[JG13]

Yeah lumping in $10,000 (in my case) of extended warranty in a 5 year loan (which I also didn't really have a chance to discuss) when I can purchase it any time before the warranty actually ends just doesn't seem like a good idea at all. I'm pretty embarrassed to say that the total sale price after interest was $103,500 for a $77,000 car. That's just absolutely insane.

How come?

I was originally going to wait and buy the extended warranty later on, but when I learned that the warranty that comes with the car is "limited" I decided to spring for the platinum warranty from the get go. The limited warranty that comes with the car only covers powertrain, whereas the platinum covers just about everything, so I was enticed by that additional protection now just in case something like, say, the infotainment system, craps out.

To each their own, but the full coverage seems worth it IMO, unless you get fleeced for $7k like JG13. These are M cars, after all, so they (definitely mine) are likely to get beat on and break.

Yeah, this is consistent with my understanding. I was just trying to discern whether our buddy JG here got some additional years on the ultimate care + with his $3k or if he just paid for the lowest tier that adds consumables to the default 3 years.

Are they limited? I had no idea actually. I have the extended warranty but unsure if I should get the ultimate +. Which package covers infotainment?

Unless it's a cost constraint, I think the Platinum warranty is worth it for a car of this value that is going to be subjected to a lot of abuse. Infotainment would be covered under the platinum warranty.

Manufacturer warranty is very limited and won't cover steering, brakes, heat/air, infotainment, etc. It also only has limited coverage on engine, transmission, cooling, etc.

Ultimate care + is if you want to cover all regular maintenance + consumables. The appeal there for me is to cover brakes, since the 900 I paid for the lowest tier includes consumables for those first 3 years. I may opt to extend it beyond 3 years, with the appeal being the inclusion of clutch replacement, which is a year 5 maintenance item if I remember correctly.

Not sure where you got this information, but the "limited" OEM manufacturer's warranty covers most parts of the car, not just the drivetrain for 48 months or 50,000 miles. Now warranty means defects in parts or manufacture, not maintenance, of course. Also, if you "beat on and break it," it's likely not covered.

Yeah, my list wasn't necessarily complete, but I do have a sheet that shows what has limited vs full vs no coverage.

I agree that blowing up my engine due to negligence wouldn't be covered, but, in my 135i for example, several years ago the dealer did $7k worth of work replacing fuel pumps, lines, injectors, etc. to fix a misfire issue. THAT is what I'm trying to avoid.

What was there pricing for the platinum and can I purchase that at any time? No cost constraint, I just don’t want to pay for nonsense type stuff that the dealer is trying to push on me. I honestly don’t even know what my extended warranty I bought means. All I know is I got them to cost at $4k and it’s 7 years or 70k for all engine related things. I opted out of everything else due to how pricey it all got.

It sounds like the platinum is what you bought. You can cancel and buy again later if you want, but you'll likely pay more than the $4k you paid at delivery.

After looking at paperwork I can confirm that it’s the platinum. I’ll probably keep it as it only adds about $40 extra to my monthly. Not terrible.

NYK Line website. Here is Heritage Leader 071 schedule.

Who else's car that came with Aquarius Leader is still sitting at the port? Mine still has an open work order on it without ETA. Losing patience a bit. Who would've thought some stick-on carbon parts take longer to install than HAS lol.

Mine was on Aquarius Leader. My status at the port didn't change since it's arrived, and today this morning my CA texted me, that my M2 is in. I checked HAS installation sheet, and it's dropped 20mm from the initial measurement. I thought it would be 10mm, but I'm not complaining.

Congrats! Hope mine will magically show up at the dealership too

What in the world!? The standard warranty on the car should be Bumper to Bumper, and not limited to Powertain. The Platinum coverage should be an extension to the exact same Bumper to Bumper warranty. This is the explanation I got. Who told you that the standard warranty is “limited”? Someone trying to sell a warranty?

That said, I’m not averse to buying the Platinum warranty when the time comes before 20K miles. Bills can add up very quickly if things go wrong (which I’ve seen firsthand).

[JG13]

Getting annoyed with the lady I'm working with in Finance at my dealer. Told them on Tuesday I wanted to cancel the warranties and have been following up every day. Finally she called me today and tried to talk me out of it but I told her my mind was made up. She said she would email me the forms to cancel but of course I haven't seen them yet.

I decided to just go with Geico's Mechanical Breakdown Insurance. Comes out to 160 a year, or $1,120 for 7 years/100000. It sucks that I'll have to pay for it when it can't be used during the BMW warranty period but the overall cost is low enough that I'm not going to worry about it.
