The best extended warranty for BMW depends on your priorities, budget, and preferences. If you’re sticking to the official BMW Extended Service Contract options, you’ll have the choice between the Powertrain Plus, Gold, and or Platinum plan. Here’s a look at what each of these covers:
Warranty option
Coverage limits
Powertrain Plus
Major components of the engine and transmission
Gold
Comprehensive coverage for major systems & limited coverage for electrical components
Platinum
Powertrain Plus & Gold plans plus audio, entertainment, and navigation systems
You can choose between five, six, or seven years of coverage on top of your regular four-year warranty, and these may cost anywhere between $1,000 to $8,000. If you’re open to third-party extended warranty plans, however, you may be able to save some money on your car’s protection.
No matter what warranty you have, you won’t be protected against damage caused by weather, vandalism, or a collision unless you have a reliable

policy.
