After reading many of the threads regarding the warranties on the forum, I decided to go with AAA. They were actually cheaper than 1sourcewarranty, and like it was just mentioned it does cover the MAFs and the O2 sensors. I reviewed a good number of warranties and none of them covered the clutch, so it is just something that we will all have to be careful about mistreating.
Tough one. Check each dealer to see what they offer and their price plans.
I highly suggest $0.00 deductible. Most of the time, you take the car in and the dealer cannot duplicate the problem. Eventually, you'll find out that you will have to go to the dealer a million times until they can spot the problem. If you have a $100 deductible, that's $100 x 1 million.

Here is a link to a site that I found helpful. I found it on this board which is, of course, the best source of first hand info.

Sorry I cannot answer the question directly as I too am somewhat in the market but not sure where to go.
good luck

I just got a 5/75 on my 01 w/31k miles for 3100. No deduct. "Platimnum". I did a lot of research, and even tok all of the information to SA and he says it all looks good. These guys are also one of the few that will cover a California car. If you would like any more info, please feel free to pm me. MAF's are covered.

That is an interesting warranty as the time begins on the date of warranty purchase- but the mileage is base on total mileage. Not bad for many owners here who are buying (relatively) low mileage cars with 2,3 4 years already on them.
But boy, that's a chunk of change I'd rather put into headers!

When I purchased mine, I got a 4 year 48,000 mile warranty $100 deductible (on top of the 21300 miles it had on it when I purchased it) for about 2900. I absolutely think that it was worth it, you never know what can happen. I wish I had it on my Carrera 4 when I had to reseal the engine due to an oil leak ($5000) after only 8 months of ownership.
It is all about the piece of mind! hiha
Make sure you read the fine print with these warranties. I researched some, and it really looked like you had to jump through hoops to be reimbursed or to be covered at all. Don't just look for the best price, look for the easiest terms to deal with.

Yeap; it's all the same. The warranty company would reimburse the amount, less the deductible. The customer in turn pays the dealer. In addition if that's not the case, it's a $200 deductible for every repair in Jordantii's situation. There will be many. So, if the dealer cannot duplicate the problem now, then when they do, you will have to pay the deductible. Zero deductible, hands-down.ard said:

The warranty was purchased directly from the warranty company not from the dealer. The dealer wnated over 4k, and it only extended the warranty dor 2 years.

Just had my car at the dealer. They do not charge for a diagnostic if they don't find anything wrong.
AAA offers a warranty that they sell. It is not AAA branded just a company they use.
The prior owner has filed claimes with them and there were no problems. They approve the repair over the phone and give the dealer a credit card #.
The original price for the warranty was 1295.00 Platnum, which is full coverage.
Best,

Riley6, I actually purchased through the dealer that I bought my M5 from. Since seeing this thread though I did more research on the company that the dealer placed me with and seems they have had some complaints about not paying. I am now thinking about cancelling the policy (According to the contract I can get a 100% refund as long as I cancel within 60 days) and getting it through AAA, seems like the company they use is pretty easy to deal with. The cost is the same.
Lots of sleazy companies out there. I found alot of the complaints on www.ripoffreport.com.

I just got 7/100K on my 02 Beast with just over 49K miles. I paid about $2400 for JA&M's Premium warranty with $100 deductable. The warranty stats from the day of the first in-service which for me is 11/01... so i have till 11/08 or 100K whatever comes first.
I got the extended maintains as well for $1495 about a year ago so now I just have to put a lot of miles on the car lets say about 17K per year...
I researched a lot and found out that the warranty you want is a exclusion warranty. There are a lot of warranties out there but I rather pay more upfront than read the fine print of what is covered later....
