My son is looking at purchasing wheel and tire insurance from a BMW dealer in LA for his 06 330 with the sport package. His options are:
At South Bay BMW he can get wheel and tire insurance for 3 years for $895. The insurance is from Fidelity Warranty Services, Inc.
At Glendale BMW he can get wheel and tire insurance for 3 years for $595. The insurance is from Nation Safe.
What are your thoughts and ideas on his options?

Based on the recommendation of JSpira, I also joined Paragon (formerly The Auto Club.com or something) but have not had any claims so I can't say first hand how well they operate. One thing that's been bugging me about them is that the "member login" section of their website has been "under construction" for like a year now with no sign of any change. It's starting to raise my level of skepticism about how well they operate, etc. If anyone else has experience with these guys, please chime in!

I wouldn't let that concern me,like I said I didn't have any problems and from what I have read others didn't either. You have a ton of phone #'s and web sites to go to to answer any questions.

Terms. You must call before any repair is made. Tires must minimum of 3/32" tread. Good for 5 years or $4,000 in claims maximum. If you sell the car whatever is not used is returned to you on a pro-rata basis.
Thank you JSpira. You just saved my son and I $1,000 plus each of us received 5 years of coverage at this price instead of 3 years.

Rudy I'm getting ready to order MY2010 535i, judging from all the options you got, in your opinion is there any options you would stay away from the next time around? TIA

These tire/wheel warranties were pitched to me when I bought my CPO 2007 550i. I was really only interested in the wheel portion. The detail that the wheel literally had to be chunked/bent...basically totaled prior to any replacement, turned me away. I am more worried about curb rash and minor lip dings. If the wheels can hold air, no warranty coverage.
I may look into the paragon option above.
