To Keep the Warranty or not
Purchased a 2009 N54 135i a few months back. Got a good deal on a 3rd party Zurich warranty (bumper to bumper). Car has 25,000 miles on it.
I want to keep playing around/modifying my car and am debating about asking for my refund from the 3rd party warranty (maybe 1,300 dollars) and applying that towards exhaust/downpipes or keeping the warranty? I've called around to a few shops and they have said generally they only see water pump failures at that mileage up to maybe...40,000 miles when my warranty would expire. I have a JB4 in my car as well and am torn between: Keep the warranty refund warranty and modify keep the warranty and modify and then possibly have my warranty voided which would really suck Any advice?? |

I've never had good dealings with a 3rd party warranty, if it were me I would but the money you get back into the bank have it earn some interest for any repairs down the road.

I have maybe...1,200 dollars left I will get back for the refund.
The way my 3rd party works is I have a $200 deductible anytime there is a repair. So #1: My repair has to be >= $200 or it doesn't affect me #2: Even if my repair is $250, then I'll have only saved $50 So basically, Even with a warranty I still may have to spend a lot of money Is the wastegate issue ever really occur before 40,000 miles? That seems to show up around the 50-60k mark. |
