I have a 2008 528i with about 28K on the clock. The four year warranty expires in April. I was quoted a price of $3500 for the extended warranty which will take me out three more years or 70K. Do you think it is a good idea or would I be better off doing "pay as you go"? It does not cover regular maintenance items like brakes and rotors.

what does it cover? electrical? iDrive? brake vacuum pump? engine failures?

I hate to say it, but it depends... Who is the extended warranty from? BMW? What does it say it covers? When I bought my 05 545i I got one from Fidelity Warranty Services, it seems to be worth it. I was told recently that the struts need replaced and I have a leaking vacuum booster pump. I called and was told that my warranty will cover both items. The shop is coming to pick up the car this morning. We will see what actually happens, but it sounds good so far.

Make sure to compare this warranty with the cost of having your car CPO'd, it may cost less and the warranty may be better.
