Shop around some more - these policies usually have 100% (or more) mark-up, so its not uncommon to get 40-45% off MSRP. Also, keep in mind, you do get what you pay for usually. Assuming you know the warranty co. and they're reputable and reliable, I vote get it

And stupid me for waiting till the last minute. With less than 100 miles before my original warranty expires, I don't have much negotiating power. hahaha

I voted yes. I have aftermarket warranty, paid about $3500. So far they replaced control arms, steering column, angel eye. no deductible. This already paid for itself.
Especially when you plan to keep your m5 for a while. Just a piece of mind, my opinion.

Do it T, I just bought an Ext. Easy Care warranty myself 4 years. This a real warranty. No BS. All you pay is your deductable. Also, they cover all related parts to your clutch as well. ie. Fly wheel. Most warranties do not cover the clutch. With these M5's in SMG it's a must to be prepared for it to go out. Peace of mind is worth more then the cost of the warranty IMHO.

Pulled the trigger and bought the ext warranty today. The Fin Mgr gave me a couple more hundred off so I paid $3150 for additional 3yrs, 36K miles. Thanks y'all.
