BMW extended warranty cost

[mercGLowner]

My 2010 X5 35d M Sport approved used warranty expires at the end of the month. My X5 has 24000 on the clock. The extended warranty price is £121 a month or just over £1300 for the year. Is it me, or is this just very expensive? I think a Porsche warranty is cheaper (for a used Porsche of course!).

I realise there are options; a voluntary excess and breakdown cover, and the price I have been quoted is zero XS, but still! This vindicates my decision to replace the X5 with a brand new SUV from another manufacturer which means I actually save money compared with keeping the X5 and taking the warranty. Just need to get a decent price for the X5.

I guess you've got to take that as an indication of how much BMW expects it to wrong, and how expensive it will be to fix.

TBH if I knew figures like that in advance, it would put me off buying the car.

Exactly this. If I had known the cost I wouldn't have bothered when I bought last year, or at least would have negotiated two years warranty as part of the deal.

Looks like I will have 4-6 weeks with no warranty from 1 sept, whilst I wait for the Disco to arrive.
