Looks nice, is that a non M-Sport car?

I’ve never had much luck with warranty companies personally, but I know others that have. The BMW dealer I work for sells a lot of warranty products and I know they cover claims in our service department.

If I had bought a warranty on my car, in theory that would have saved me money, though it wasn’t a cheap quote. I think it was over $4k for just a few years.

Turbo waste gates will fail before 100k, various sensors will need to be replaced (fairly simple), most engine gaskets will leak, headlight washer seals will leak and cause you to think it is coolant, fuel pump if it hasn’t already been fixed, injectors if they haven’t been fixed, water pump and thermostat will fail.

But like I said, once sorted, it will be a good car for a long time. If it is very low mileage, I would be too concerned and just budget for maintenance down the road.
