Called bmw warranty uk earlier today to extend the warranty on my car and now they got an improved cover which cover wear and tear up to 100k . 

That's not a lot of detail....
Price? T&C?

Brandon, how about cost of extended warranty and what options they offered?

It cost £426 a year and I took out the comprehensive cover and on the T&T it said it cover wear and tear upto 100k obviously like wiper blade ,tyres,external and internal seal don't cover ..

Did you check third party warranty companies for alternative prices?

Yeah warranty direct cost even more they wanted 560... and done a research on it and had loads of people had bad experience with it . I don't think is a bad deal , bmw warranty now added tear and wear cover upto 100k miles .

For those considering Warranty Direct in the future, if you feign disinterest then you may well get a phone call a couple of weeks later offering better cover at a much lower premium.  It may only work for the first year, but it is one of their known sales tactics.

In my case I got their top cover for £200 less, though that was back in 2008.  Current BMW has the full extended warranty policy running (for now).

I got a quote from BMW Mondial recently on a 2009 Xdrive 35d with 62k miles. A mere snip at £2100 a year!

WD wanted £680 with no wear and tear cover for the first 3 months......

Yeah WD for first 3 months there no wear and  tear cover they quoted me that too . On my car I renewed before the current bmw  warranty ran out so I renewed it without a break in between so by doing that it cost much cheaper compare a car ran out of warranty then try to get a fresh warranty

I'd rather put the money in a savings account tbh.
Then again, i do 5k a year and don't need the car for work so can afford to wait to repair things.

I do very little miles too but just  peace of mine really . Average decent after market warranty varies between £250- £550 . So £426 from Mondial seems good value for money and like I mention on the earlier post it now includes the wear and tear cover upto 100k which makes the warrant much more attractive .

Wow, BMW want £1370 a month for a 2011 3.0d with 41k miles. Warranty direct are £550.

Does BMW go down after the first year? My 2011 5 series was only £64 a month, but it followed on directly from the manufacturer 3 year warranty, so less risk for them.

I think you mean £1370 a year surely? 

No BMW doesn't go down.  The only way to get the price down is to pick a larger excess.  You can keep the price unchanged by paying monthly by DD.  Mine hasn't changed in nearly 3-years.

You also can get the price down by not taking the UK breakdown recovery cover too .

My manufacturers warranty expires when the car gets to it's 3rd birthday in Sept 2017. Will BMW UK offer me extended warranty or do i have to initiate contact?
The car has only done 9000 miles thus far (09/2014)
Is it worth having the extended warranty for piece of mind or a waste considering the expected mileage of 10k a year?
