Extended Warranty

Hi everyone,

i am looking at possibly buying a 2016 740i and was trying to get some feedback from other people who may have purchased an extended warranty. I was looking at the platinum extended warranty from BMW but have read in other threads that people with BMW have recommended Zurich and Fidelity. I used Fidelity with my VW touareg.

Anyone currently have a warranty with one of these options or some other that they would recommend?
Can anyone recommend a good dealership to purchase an extended warranty from?

Thanks.

I'd recommend sticking to extended warranty through bmw direct if it's an option. Add maintenance to match. Going through a third party is such a hassle.

Thanks. curious what others have been paying for a 16 740i BMW direct platinum warranty and the amount of miles with it? Also, curious if anyone can recommend a good dealer to purchase it from?

If i read the the link from bigmac, the maintenance should be included in the BMW Direct platinum warranty coverage for 2016 model years?

What is the maximum amount of years/miles you can get with a BMW platinum warranty on a 2016 740i? i would imagine they limit you to 5 years or less probably.
