My 2020 840i warranty is due for renewal.
BMW is quoting £1300 with £250 excess. £1700 with 100 excess or £2000 with no excess.
Man, that's extremely expensive for a car that's only done 20k miles. I thought it would be about £700-1000 max. What are you guys doing with the warranty?
Wow, that is a lot!! I've been looking at these but really didn't want to spend more than £40k for a coupe ( would have to be a good one for that), £2k warranty plus servicing plus £500 road tax, don't think i love them that much!! There are a lot of cars around £36k - £40k mark but tough sell when out of warranty, some 68 plate diesels wanting that sort of money, can't see many buyers at nearly 5 years old at that price...I could be wrong though! Like you said I was expecting about £700 warranty, not nearly 3 times that! BMW is quoting £1300 with £250 excess. £1700 with 100 excess or £2000 with no excess.

Is the price set not indicative to the amount of work they think it needs to cover? I.e. it's an expensive car to repair and they need lots of repairing, therefore the cover is expensive and if you opt not to get cover, likelihood is that you will be paying quite a lot to get it repaired compared to other cars?
This is from bmw-warranty.co.uk for a random reg from Autotrader 69 plate with 17k, I assume more as the original has expired
ANNUAL PAYMENT
Comprehensive Warranty with Roadside Assistance
Excess: £100
£2639.00 per year
This is crazy, think i might look for an alternative, probably why they depreciate so much!
I was paying £1750 for the BMW extended warranty on my 840d before I traded it in. Think it was £250 excess and including roadside assistance etc. They seem reliable cars, but I wasn't comfortable with chancing it as there could be a big old repair bill should anything unexpectedly go wrong!

Missing the 8 series. Still a bit frustrated Leasys offered me 45k at the lowest and it ended up at a BMW dealer for sale at 40k so must have gone through the auction for what, 38k max.
If leasys had said 40k I would have bitten. That cognac interior was divine.
why didn't you buy it from the dealer for 40K?If leasys had said 40k I would have bitten. That cognac interior was divine.
I thought about buying mine but didn't and then thought I should've. However it's not one I'd want to run without a warranty and extending the BMW one seems to be ludicrously expensive (which only reinforced the concern about how expensive it might be without the warranty! If BMW think it's going to cost them...
). It was something like £2.5k/yr.
I have, however, decided I need something spicier in my automotive life and the 530i's being traded in on Monday...

I'm finding the ride poor on my LCI 840i compared to my pre-LCI 840d and think the tyres may be to blame. It's on RFL Goodyears, has anyone found similar with these? I had Michelins on the old car. New one seems to crash over bumps and makes you feel every little imperfection in the road. Old car was firm but never this bad.
no such experience to talk about. mins are on Michelins and the ride is quite compliant. only thing i would say is that the 8 is more wafty and less of a "hold on to your hats" sort of drive compared to other BMW's ive had in the past. 
They've finally been removed this week and obviously got missed during PDI. Collecting it back felt like a whole new car again, rides beautifully now and just like I remember from my old 8! Up until now it'd been banging and crashing over every minor imperfection in the road and I couldn't get my head round it.
I shan't N&S the retailer it was purchased from as they've apologised and made a gesture of goodwill to remediate the situation. If anyone else is suffering poor ride quality I'd strongly suggest getting this checked in case others have been missed too.
I got bored with the 530i and chopped it in against a 2018 Audi S5 (B9). I px'd it at Audi Poole and it's reappeared just back up the road from me in Horsham... 
It's a tad overpriced imo; I paid £20k for it Approved Used from BMW in October last year with the 1yr BMW warranty and put 5k miles on it in the 10 months I had it.

This is what replaced it:
I also have W

Still miss the 8 though, perhaps one day I'll have another.
