Gold Extended Protection Plan expiring in July...what to ask for?
Hi - I've had my 128i for almost 7 years and while it's currently garaged for the winter, I am starting to think about spring. Coincidentally, I have BMWs extended protection plan (gold) that expires in July and know people have had some issues with the water pump etc.
What should I look out for / ask for before the ESP expires? FWIW car has 40,000 miles. Had prior issues with vanos/coils - hence the complimentary Gold ESP from BMWNA.

Going forward I'm considering doing something but haven't really dug into it. However, from what I've read on here and other forums, Route 66 is a good aftermarket wtty company.

You mentioned the water pump which is a known 'will fail' item. If you have no signs of it failing soon (which is typical) they aren't going to do anything. The three things I can think of are valve cover gasket, OFH housing gasket and oil pan gasket. Your can look for the first two by just opening the hood. The oil pan - which is the most expensive one - need to pull the underbody shields. I looked for all three before my CPO wtty expired. Wish I could have induced oil pan gasket failure
