Can you extend BMW warranty coverage?

I bought a new BMW a couple of months ago. It came with a standard factory warranty, but I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d need an extended warranty. Can I extend the warranty if I change my mind?

You must be beam(er)ing with pride and joy! Okay, back to the question at hand: yes, you can extend your BMW warranty, but you must meet a few conditions. Let’s go over those few key details.
Timing is very important when it comes to extending your BMW warranty. You’ll want to make sure you buy your extended warranty before the factory warranty expires. BMW’s standard factory warranty for new vehicles is four years/50,000 miles (whichever comes first) and begins the moment you drive your beamer off the lot.
If you miss this window, however, not all hope is lost. You can typically still get coverage from a third-party provider, but the coverage may not be identical and could take a little more research. But even if you make the window, you should prepare to drop a lot of moolah—upwards of $7,000 for a three-year Platinum extended warranty plan!
The only way you’ll know how much your extended BMW warranty will cost is by contacting your dealership. You may conclude that it’s unnecessary or that other protections, such as
mechanical breakdown insurance
or
new car replacement insurance
better suit your coverage goals.
