Hi all,

Purchased my first bmw yesterday!! Pickup on monday and i cannot wait!

[X5Sport]

And it will be a........?

Three different X5 types around now

E70  4.8i  >:D

Any decent warranty covers that anybody knows about?
Or shall i go through bmw?
High mileage at 130,000 so isn't going to be cheap!

You can try BMW but I think that they have an upper mileage limit, and you’ll need a full service history (I think).

I used Warranty Direct on my E53, though you may now only get driveline cover with that mileage.  WD won’t pay any diagnostics costs, only parts and labour.

I’m sure others will chip in with their thoughts shortly

Thanks for the info 

Had a quick look round and WD only go up to 120,000 from what i saw.
BMW do a driveline cover, quite pricey at £1500 but totally worth it with the higher mileage and peace of mind, has an up to date service history!

I read that if you do continuous monthly payments they shouldn't increase?

[X5Sport]

My current X6 has been on monthly payment BMW warranty for 4 years now and the only premium increase has been down to Insurance Premium Tax.  You can reduce the bill if you accept an excess.

Awesome! Thanks for your help!
