That's interesting. It's not listed in the extended coverage. It's like the entire suspension isn't covered in BMWs warranty except steering.

I don't have bmw warranty, I have maxcare. The thing that causes control arms to mess up the way mine did is potholes, so I'm actually surprised they covered it

Ah yes. Max care. Much better than BMW backed warranty. 😁😁😁

They definitely aren't built to last.

Old post, but I think, from what I've read, the F8x might in fact, be built to last. Very different M car.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic lol. OEM warranties are the best but didn't make sense financially IMO

No I’m not. I’m actually looking at it and you made a very interesting point about suspension which skipped my mind in coverage. BMW warranty doesn’t cover suspension but aftermarket ones like Fidelity do. Because of this, I might lean towards Fidelity instead of BMW.

Just signed the papers on a '15 M4 today! Previous toy was a W204 C63 with lth and tune. Imagine this will feel "slow" in comparison, but getting older, and wiser haha. That AMG was like smashing yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer and flushing hundred dollar bills down the toilet trying to keep tires on the back :-)

I opted for a 2 year extended warranty for this one. Clearly, not knowing the history of the vehicle played a huge part, but never having owned a BMW before as well. Figure I have a couple summers of driving to sort out if it's going to be a peach, or a lemon!

Bump. Everyone still happy with their warranty vs. no warranty choices? On the fence myself with a month left.
