Did some more research...there are more than a few reputable companies that offer extendedwarranty services for BMW's. I got my Bavarian dude for the maintenance...I am going to make this happen. Even if it's not the one listed. As long asyou have a solid warranty/service contract and you see the records of prior maintenance things should eb fine...and you are not putting the financial burden onyourself to keep up with maintenance. Besides 43k miles is NOTHING for a German car. They can go 257-300k easy with proper preventivemaintenance.Originally Posted by wj4
FYI to buy the extended warranty and extended maintenance, you must be the original owner and do it before the standard 4/50,000 expires. The only way to bypass this is to by it as a CPO from a BMW dealership.
did you guys buy those cars straight cash or did you finance? Im thinking of financing a used Lexus whose asking price is $25k, I wonder how muchthe price can be reduced.Originally Posted by djuzi05
With this economy, they have been very willing to negotiate on price. I bought a 2006 650i with 9k miles for 51k and my brother recently bought an 08 C63 AMG with 600 miles for 55k (sticker was 64k).
Of course there are companies that will offer you warranty services. But, in now way shape or form is it anything compared to BMW's warranty.It won't cover wear and tear items, (such as clutch, brakes..etc). These prices have been like this for awhile now, nothing new. You can now get extendedmaintenance from BMW, without being a original owner..unlike extended warranty where u have to be the orignal owner(unless its CPO'd). You're reallypushing it with 257-300K miles. These engines are so much more complex than older models, so I really doubt you're gonna get 250-300k. Just be careful anddon't rush into a deal just because u think its good. Even if u do have your own guy for labor and whatnot, these parts are not cheap and without a properwarranty...your wallet will take a very big hit.Originally Posted by ElderWatsonDiggs

3rd party warranties are sketchy. IE: A few years back, a very reputable 3rd party insurance company went under and everyone who already paidfor their insurance got screwed. Some dealerships also refuse to deal with them.Originally Posted by ElderWatsonDiggs

To you and WJ4...first off thanks for the extra insight y'all are providing. Trust andbelieve I'm going to make a smart decision on this. The BMW dealership in my area is top %10 in the nation (BMW Excellence Award) and very helpful andI'm going to speak with them about warranty specifics. Like I said early from the research I have done earlier there are a FEW good warranty companies thatpeople actively use for Bimmers as second buyers. Of course I know it would be expensive for out-of-pocket repairs for the V-10...is why getting an M5 withouta warranty and maintenance is not even a question for me.Originally Posted by MyJaysGetRocked

f.y.i.
the 2006 had thee most problems of the e60 M5 and thee most lemon law'ed M5 in history I believe....
I only went with a 08 M5 because ex wifey already had the S63 and I wanted a sport sedan...
now, I think the car will be gone very soon or I'm going to do something MAJOR to it for bimmerfest, then get rid of it, but I'm torn.
f.y.i. part 2
in the first few months of owning this m5, I spent an average of $1,500 a month on gas alone.
my car when I drive like a jerk gets 57 miles to a full tank of gas
when I drive pretty normal, I average about 120 miles to a full tank of gas
lastly, I'm paying $60 a month for the absolute full coverage insurance on this vehicle through mercury. (about $150 a month total for this, the charger srt8(which is gone now) and the audi R
