Perhaps I’m just spoiled, as the roads here in the Netherlands are top notch.
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Paid 6k for Mechanical Breakdown Protection Platinum for my 440i with 42,000 km’s for 3 years and unlimited km’s. Had valve cover gasket replaced as well as turbo coolant lines replaced at ~55,000 km’s and it was around 4k all in for the maintenance fully covered.
Pros: maintenance fully covered
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 55000 km
I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth from extended warranties and tire/wheel across five different cars. I think they are well worth it
Pros: well worth it
Vehicle:
BMW
Well. Considering I’ve had two tires and one rim replaced in 8 months with no charge… I’m calling the wheel and tire plan a win.
Pros: wheel and tire plan win
BMW with a blown head gasket on the intake side. White smoke is steam not oil. Water pumps go out on these as if they were a dime a dozen. A 2 day job for most mechanics.
Pros: 2 day job
Cons: water pumps go out
Vehicle:
BMW
Dead battery within months, and car completely shutting off, your car SCREAMS alternator issue. Get it checked out.
Cons: alternator issue
Vehicle:
BMW X1
my e39 530i is pushing it for me... I've been great maintaining it and today it starved itself of fuel somehow on the highway. No clue what's doing it other than the fuel pump stops.
Pros: great maintaining it
Cons: fuel pump stops
Vehicle:

Oil leak. Thats my G20, had to fill like 3 times oil myself during 30 000 km. Went to service and apparently they found two separate oil leaks
Pros: found two oil leaks
Cons: had to fill oil
Vehicle:

Mileage: 30000 km
The only thing I don\u2019t like about my F87 M2 is the automatic transmission. It\u2019s noisy, jerky and uncomfortable. Not a premium transmission. Fast, but not good.
Pros: fast
Cons: noisy, jerky, uncomfortable
Vehicle:
BMW M2
