Best Third-Party Extended Warranty?

[Crypto2k3]

Anyone use continental warranty? I was offered it by my BMW dealership. Supposedly bumper to bumper for 7 years 100k. Website: http://continentalwarranty.org

I stopped in BMW of Louisville today to discuss warranty options. They offered a third party warranty through TWS with a $250 deductible per visit - powertrain, gold, gold plus, and platinum. I have a 2013 M5 with 68k that I picked up for $26k last month from a private seller, and I hate driving this beast around knowing that I could be one mile away from a $35k engine replacement.

Powertrain Only - 3/36 - $4368 4/48 - $4900
Gold - 3/36 - $5600 4/48 - $7150
Gold Plus - 3/36 - $6350 4/48 - $8210
Platinum - 3/36 - $7100 4/48 - $9750

I keep my cars until they die, and I expect there to be normal wear and tear repairs, but the huge powertrain bills are the ones that worry me. After reviewing the brochure and contract, I chose the Powertrain 4/48 at $4900.

I liked the fact that the finance manager said "this company doesn't tell us no". Could be a little bit of a sales pitch, but I'm happy with the purchase.

Hope this helps the community.

Do they cap liability? If so, for what amount?

Just a heads up everyone Delta Auto Protect is a scam, they do not answer any service calls when my dealer tried to call them. Please stay away from them

here is a link for more info: https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/taki...n-repair-scam/

moejoe there are almost no warranties worth dealing with on these cars anymore. I got scammed into a Patriot Warranty on recommendation from someone here. 2yr/24k mi "bumper-to-bumper" for 4500 on a 13 M6 42k miles. I used them once and they only cover 50% of my dealer's labor rate, and took forEVER to approve repairs. When you call and ask to do a cancellation they never answer, that department is magically always busy, but if you call for a new plan they answer right away. I tried and tried and tried to cancel but no response so I finally had to take it up with my credit card and thankfully after a lengthy process they deemed them fraudulent and gave me a full refund.
