Nope. Don't think either of the above exist TBH. Certainly not "good" and "reasonably priced". Possibly one or the other, although can't think of any.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold

I'll be slightly less useless than Pondrew :D No experience of the run of the mill warranty companies but currently have BMWs Comprehensive Warranty which supposedly covers most things bar usual wear and tear items. Costs 41 quid a month with 250 excess. Never used it though to date :oops:

I have a Warranty Direct on my Range Rover Sport. Cheapest I could find and have had over £5K in claims and every claim authorized. No complaints as yet.
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..
BMW E85 3.0 Auto, sadly missed (twice)

Tim.
Just received a letter this morning offering me a years extended warranty from BMW. £450pa or £47pm with £100 excess.

Was tempted until I read through all the things that weren't covered.

Decided just to put £100pm into premium bonds.

I'm on a £422 a year with £250 excess for the Z4 and the same for the 335 - there is also a comprehensive roadside assist cover in the premium. As a standalone product the comprehensive assist is £165 - so the warranty isn't too expensive.

I had to use it on the 335 very recently and can report that the service was first class. Including a like for like hire car!

It’s with the BMW insured warranty

Ive only made two claims and on both occasions they were handled in a very professional manner. They supplied me with a like for like 3 series and arranged the appointment at the dealership.

As I said before, the policy includes a comprehensive assist plan and as I have some mobility issues, a minor roadside problem would be a real issue for me,

Financially, if I had put the cash in the bank , I would have been ahead on the deal but given the reasons above! I have the 335 covered and my 35is also

Ps. I am not on their sales promotion team or commission
