I believe it to approx ?900 + VAT then ?100 excess for each claim you make.
This also only covers certain items, it is not a complete warranty
Not worth it in my opinion.

these are the uks biggest warranty provider
on the basis of a 2003 525i, 60k miles, 30k a year or less, non bmw garage to do work, is ?350 a year.
Not a lot of exclusions, but 'wear and tear' applies
i suggest you compare
cheers

Get your car served before the warranty goes out and get all issues, possible and small fixed.
This way you get a two year warranty on those.
How many kilometers have driven?
In my experiense, if something brakes within a year or so after the warranty,
the parts will be payed by BMW.
