Hi all, I have a '03 530 (e39) that's just about to run out of warranty. My local BMW dealership mentioned something about extending it for approx $1200. Is this worthwhile doing?

Thanks.

Are you are the original owner, and this is an extension of the original BMW factory warranty? How long and how many miles? Are you talking about extended warranty or just the maintenance service contract?

Yes, the dealer said it was to extend the factory warranty. I'm the 2nd owner. I bought the car last year. It is CPO and has approx. 27k miles on it (I've put about 7K on it). CPO will cover it for a while to come.

I guess I should find out how long they (the dealership) would extend it for, didn't think to ask. Doh!

If it's CPO you are under that warranty 100k and 7 years from original service date.

extend the maintanence.. its DEF worth it!

Check the price of a transmission replace, I just paid $50 for a new one last month. with 99,451 on the odometer. And just think I was debating on changing the lifetime fluid at 100k.
