Should I extended the BMW warranty?

Hi guys, as above, how much will it be approx and is it worth it. Car has done 30k and I will possibly keep the car another 12 months. What's your thoughts? Cheers

Any problems so far? If not, then personally I wouldn't. At 30k miles with no problems, you should be soundly in the bottom of the reliability bath tub curve.

It's a difficult one, if something like the gearbox/engine went bang you'd be glad you did but from what I've seen they are pretty robust.

I've nearly done double your current mileage with zero issues but I've still got another 17 months of warranty on it, when mine runs out I'll probably get an extended warranty if they will give me one.

I had the same dilemma in September. 18K on the clock no issues upto now. Over £1000 a year for the full warranty.
Decided not to get it...hopefully I won't regret it!

My warranty just expired and the car has done about 28k. I was recommended taking a warranty through motoreasy, which I have done.
They gave me a good deal for the Plan A (a top spec one) for £480

I believe consumer protection regulation gives ample protection if major mechanical items fail, the test being:
Is it reasonable for a component (engine/gearbox/diff etc) to fail after 3 year and 30k miles.
Its why manufacturers often replace these items FOC under "good will" because if taken to court they would certainly lose.
Gets more complicated as time passes and mileage increases though.
